Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Sutures — model EP7402H — are high-quality surgical sutures designed for permanent soft tissue approximation and ligation. The suture material consists of isotactic crystalline polypropylene, an inert polymer that offers permanent tensile strength retention, minimal tissue reactivity, and low tissue drag, making it suitable for a wide range of clinical applications including general soft tissue closure, cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurosurgical procedures.

This SKU is USP 7-0, indicating a very fine diameter for precise soft tissue work, and comes with a 75 cm suture length. It is mounted on a BV-1 taperpoint needle featuring a 9.3 mm needle length and 3/8 circle curvature optimised for controlled penetration and reduced drag through tissue. EVERPOINT technology ensures consistent needle sharpness and a smoother passage through tissue.

The blue monofilament colouring enhances visibility in the surgical field while helping resist bacterial adherence. These sutures are supplied sterile, single-use, and boxed in quantities of 36, appropriate for clinical and hospital environments.
