This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture, product code EP8610H, is engineered for permanent and reliable soft tissue approximation. Constructed from dyed blue polypropylene monofilament, it offers indefinite tensile strength retention, low tissue drag, and minimal tissue reactivity for reliable wound support.

The suture comes in USP 6-0, a fine gauge suitable for delicate soft tissue closure where precision is critical. The 60 cm suture length gives ample handling range for a variety of surgical applications.

EP8610H features two BV taperpoint needles, each 11 mm in length with a 3/8 circle curvature that enables smooth penetration with controlled passage through soft tissues. EVERPOINT technology ensures consistent needle sharpness and predictable performance throughout use.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is designed for clinical and hospital environments requiring long-term wound support in general, cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological soft tissue procedures.
