This PRONOVA® Poly (Hexafluoropropylene–VDF) Monofilament Suture, product code PN1812H, is a non-absorbable suture designed for precise soft tissue approximation where enhanced flexibility, minimal tissue reactivity and long-term tensile strength retention are required.

Manufactured from a proprietary copolymer of poly (hexafluoropropylene–VDF), PRONOVA® offers superior handling and flexibility compared to traditional polypropylene sutures. The smooth monofilament structure ensures reduced tissue drag and consistent knot security in delicate surgical procedures.

The USP 5-0 diameter provides fine tensile strength suitable for vascular, plastic and general soft tissue applications. The 30 inch (75 cm) strand length supports controlled handling and efficient wound closure across extended incision lines.

Sterile and single-use, PN1812H is supplied in a box of 36 sutures, making it suitable for hospital and surgical theatre environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure performance.
