This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code EP7403H, is developed for precise vascular and fine soft tissue approximation where atraumatic handling and reliable tensile performance are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.

The USP 6-0 (Metric 0.7) diameter offers refined handling characteristics while maintaining suitable tensile strength for delicate tissue layers. The 75 cm strand length provides flexibility and improved reach during controlled placement and secure knot tying.

This suture is fitted with a BV-1 taper point needle. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, making it appropriate for vascular and soft tissue closure where minimal tissue trauma is critical. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
