This PROLENE® Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, product code EH8020H, is developed for precise approximation of delicate soft tissue in procedures requiring enhanced visibility and controlled penetration. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and long-term tensile strength.

The USP 7-0 diameter is suitable for microsurgical and fine vascular applications where refined handling and minimal tissue trauma are essential. The 60 cm strand length offers balanced reach and control during intricate procedures.

This suture is bi-directional and fitted with an ACC VB VISIBLACK® TAPERCUT CC needle (9.3 mm). The VISIBLACK® needle coating enhances visual contrast within the operative field, while the TAPERCUT CC design combines a tapered body with a cutting tip for precise penetration of delicate yet slightly resistant tissue. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable microsurgical closure.
