This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8895, is designed for dependable soft tissue approximation where long-term tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, excellent knot security and permanent wound support.

The USP 3-0 diameter offers balanced tensile performance and handling characteristics suitable for general soft tissue closure across a range of surgical disciplines. The extended 120 cm strand length supports continuous suturing techniques and controlled placement in procedures requiring longer running closure.

This suture is supplied with a V-7 tapercut needle (26 mm). The tapercut configuration combines a taper body with a cutting tip, enabling controlled penetration of dense or fibrous tissue while reducing unnecessary trauma. Manufactured from high-quality 4310 alloy, the needle provides strength, stability and resistance to bending during placement.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring reliable non-absorbable wound closure.
