This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Microsurgical Suture, product code W8703, is engineered for fine soft tissue and microvascular approximation in animal health procedures where precision and long-term tensile stability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.

The USP 8-0 diameter offers refined handling characteristics suitable for ultra-fine veterinary tissue layers requiring controlled tension. The 60 cm strand length provides balanced reach and flexibility during intricate animal surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied double-armed with two CC175-8 MP TAPERCUT CC needles (9.3 mm). The TAPERCUT CC configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, enabling controlled penetration of slightly resistant tissue. MULTIPASS® technology is designed to maintain needle sharpness through repeated passes, supporting consistent performance. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional veterinary microsurgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
