Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Sutures – model EP7403H – are high-quality sutures engineered for long-term soft tissue approximation and ligation. Made from isotactic polypropylene, the suture material provides permanent tensile strength retention, minimal tissue reactivity, and excellent handling characteristics.

This specific SKU is USP 6-0, indicating a fine suture diameter for delicate tissues, with a 75 cm suture length suitable for extended closures. It is mounted on a BV-1 taperpoint needle, featuring a 9.3 mm needle length and 3/8 circle curvature, designed for precise penetration in soft tissue with reduced drag and controlled placement.

EVERPOINT technology ensures consistent needle sharpness and reliable penetration performance throughout the suture, supporting smooth passage and predictable handling. The blue monofilament construction minimises bacterial adherence and drag, while the combination of inert polypropylene and taperpoint needle geometry improves knot security and wound integrity.

These sterile, single-use sutures are supplied in a box of 36, suitable for professional hospital and clinical settings in general surgery, cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and other soft tissue procedures requiring permanent wound support.
