This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 8623H, is engineered for secure approximation of dense and high-tension tissues where strength and controlled penetration are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, reliable knot security and permanent wound support.

The USP 2-0 diameter delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for major skin closure and tough soft tissue repair. The 75 cm (30 inch) strand length allows effective operative reach and controlled placement during wound approximation.

This product features a KS reverse cutting needle (60 mm). The reverse cutting geometry enhances needle strength and reduces tissue cut-through risk while supporting efficient penetration of dense tissues. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
