This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture, model EP7972H, is engineered for high-precision wound closure where minimal tissue reaction and lasting tensile strength are essential. The suture is made from blue dyed polypropylene monofilament, offering long-term strength retention, low tissue drag, and reduced bacterial adherence for reliable soft tissue approximation and ligation.

The USP 8-0 size represents an extremely fine diameter suitable for microsurgical and delicate soft tissue procedures. The suture length measures 60 cm, ideal for fine closures with optimal handling length.

This product features two CC175-8 tapercut micro point needles, each with a 9.3 mm length and 3/8 circle curvature, delivering smooth tissue penetration, controlled placement, and minimal trauma. EVERPOINT technology ensures consistent needle sharpness for predictable performance in service.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is designed for clinical and hospital environments requiring precision and durability in wound closure.
