This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 8661G, is engineered for accurate skin and soft tissue approximation where controlled penetration and cosmetic precision are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and reliable permanent wound support.

The USP 5-0 diameter delivers fine tensile strength suitable for dermatologic and general surgical skin closure. The 45 cm (18 inch) strand length allows efficient handling and precise placement during wound approximation.

This product features an FS-2 reverse cutting needle (19 mm). The reverse cutting geometry enhances needle strength and reduces tissue cut-through risk while enabling sharp penetration of dermal tissues. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this suture is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
