This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 8522H, is engineered for secure vascular and cardiovascular tissue approximation where durability, handling control and minimal tissue reactivity are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, reliable knot security and permanent wound support.

The USP 3-0 diameter offers increased tensile strength suitable for major vessel repair and soft tissue reconstruction. The extended 90 cm (36 inch) strand length enables improved operative reach and flexibility during anastomosis procedures.

This product features double-armed SH taper point needles (26 mm). The taper point geometry supports atraumatic vessel penetration and precise placement in cardiovascular surgery. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is intended for professional surgical environments requiring consistent vascular precision.
