Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture W8850
This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8850, is engineered for dependable soft tissue and fascial approximation where enhanced tensile strength and extended reach are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.
The USP 2-0 diameter delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for moderate to high-tension soft tissue closure. The extended 90 cm strand length supports efficient layered or continuous suturing techniques during surgical procedures.
This suture is bi-directional and supplied double-armed with two CC-30 TAPERCUT® needles (31 mm), manufactured from 4310 alloy for strength and consistency. The TAPERCUT® configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, enabling controlled penetration of slightly resistant or fibrous tissue while maintaining stability and accuracy. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
