This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code W8354, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation in animal health procedures requiring long-term tensile stability and minimal tissue reaction. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® delivers smooth tissue passage, consistent handling and permanent wound support.

The USP 3-0 diameter provides balanced tensile strength suitable for veterinary dermal and soft tissue layers requiring secure knot integrity. The 90 cm strand length supports controlled placement and continuous suturing techniques during general and advanced animal surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied with an SH VISIBLACK taperpoint needle (26 mm). The taperpoint configuration enables smooth penetration of delicate soft tissue, while VISIBLACK technology enhances intraoperative needle visibility for improved placement accuracy. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional veterinary surgical environments requiring reliable non-absorbable wound closure.
