This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8872T, is engineered for reliable soft tissue and dermal approximation where precision handling and long-term tensile strength are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.

The USP 5-0 (Metric 1) diameter delivers refined performance suitable for delicate skin and soft tissue closure. The 45 cm strand length supports accurate placement and secure knot tying during routine and specialist surgical procedures.
