This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code 8725BG, is engineered for refined soft tissue approximation in procedures requiring long-term tensile strength and minimal tissue reactivity. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, consistent handling and permanent wound support.

The USP 5-0 diameter delivers delicate tensile performance suitable for fine soft tissue and dermal closure where precision and secure knot integrity are essential. The 70 cm strand length supports controlled placement and efficient handling in meticulous surgical fields.

This suture is supplied with a C-1 VISIBLACK taperpoint needle (13 mm). The taperpoint configuration allows smooth penetration of delicate tissue, while VISIBLACK technology enhances needle visibility during placement for improved accuracy. Manufactured from durable 4310 alloy, the needle provides strength and resistance to bending.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 (4 strands per pack), this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring reliable non-absorbable wound closure.
