This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code F1800H, is engineered for reliable soft tissue approximation in animal health procedures where precision and long-term tensile strength are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.

The USP 5-0 diameter offers refined handling characteristics suitable for delicate veterinary soft tissue and layered closure. The 75 cm strand length provides adequate reach and flexibility for controlled placement and secure knot tying in animal surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied double-armed with two RB-1 taper point needles (17 mm). The taper point configuration allows atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, helping to reduce tissue trauma during approximation. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional veterinary surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
