This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8534, is engineered for dependable soft tissue and layered approximation where enhanced tensile strength and extended strand length are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.

The USP 3-0 diameter delivers balanced tensile performance suitable for moderate-tension soft tissue closure. The extended 120 cm strand length provides increased reach and flexibility, supporting efficient continuous suturing and deeper closure techniques.

This suture is bi-directional and supplied double-armed with two SH taper point needles (26 mm), manufactured from 4310 alloy for consistent strength and reliability. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, helping to minimise tissue trauma during approximation. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
