This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 8976H, is engineered for secure cardiovascular and vascular tissue approximation where controlled penetration and durability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and reliable permanent wound support.

The USP 3-0 diameter delivers balanced tensile strength suitable for vascular repair and soft tissue reconstruction. The extended 90 cm (36 inch) strand length offers improved operative reach and flexibility during anastomosis procedures.

This product features double-armed V-7 tapercut needles (26 mm). The tapercut design combines a tapered body with a cutting tip to support controlled penetration while maintaining needle strength and stability. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
