This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 8706H, is engineered for precise vascular and cardiovascular tissue approximation where fine handling and durability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® delivers smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and reliable permanent wound support.

The USP 6-0 diameter provides refined tensile performance suitable for vascular repair and delicate soft tissue procedures. The extended 75 cm (30 inch) strand length allows improved operative reach and flexibility during anastomosis.

This product features double-armed C-1 taper point needles (13 mm). The taper point geometry ensures atraumatic vessel penetration, supporting accurate placement and consistent vascular suturing performance. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
