This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Surgical Suture, model 8699H, is engineered for secure skin and soft tissue approximation in animal health procedures where precision penetration and durability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and reliable permanent wound support.

The USP 4-0 diameter offers balanced tensile strength suitable for veterinary dermal and general soft tissue closure. The 45 cm strand length allows accurate placement and controlled knot tying during wound approximation in animal patients.

This product features a P-3 PRIME MULTIPASS® reverse cutting needle (13 mm). The reverse cutting geometry enhances needle strength and reduces tissue cut-through risk, while MULTIPASS® technology maintains sharpness through repeated passes. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is intended for professional veterinary surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
