This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code W987, is engineered for dependable soft tissue and dermal approximation in animal health procedures requiring secure wound support and minimal tissue reaction. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® ensures smooth tissue passage, consistent handling and permanent tensile strength.

The USP 2-0 diameter provides substantial tensile performance suitable for veterinary skin and soft tissue layers requiring reliable knot security. The 90 cm strand length supports controlled placement and continuous suturing techniques during general and advanced animal surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied with a KP-3 conventional cutting needle (90 mm). The conventional cutting configuration is designed for sharp penetration of tougher dermal tissue, facilitating controlled passage through thick animal skin while maintaining needle stability. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional veterinary surgical environments requiring durable non-absorbable wound closure.
