This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code F1861H, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation in animal health procedures where precision handling and long-term tensile strength are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.

The USP 4-0 diameter delivers balanced tensile performance suitable for veterinary dermal and layered closure. The 75 cm strand length offers adequate reach and flexibility for controlled placement and secure knot tying in animal surgical environments.

This suture is supplied double-armed with two BB VB VISIBLACK® taper point needles (17 mm). The VISIBLACK® needle coating enhances contrast within the operative field, improving visibility during delicate procedures. The taper point configuration allows atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional veterinary surgical settings requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
