This PROLENE® Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture with EVERPOINT® Technology, product code EP7970H, is engineered for fine soft tissue and vascular approximation where sustained needle sharpness and precision are critical. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® delivers smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.

The USP 7-0 diameter provides refined handling characteristics suitable for delicate tissue layers requiring controlled tension. The 75 cm strand length offers balanced reach and flexibility during intricate surgical procedures.

This suture is unidirectional and fitted with a CC175-8 EP TAPERCUT® needle (9.3 mm). Featuring EVERPOINT® Technology and constructed from tungsten rhenium alloy, the needle is designed to maintain sharpness through multiple passes, supporting consistent penetration performance. The TAPERCUT® configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip to facilitate controlled entry into slightly resistant tissue. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
