This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code F1874, is developed for dependable soft tissue approximation where extended strand length and refined handling are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.

The USP 5-0 diameter delivers balanced tensile strength suitable for fine soft tissue and layered closure procedures. The extended 90 cm strand length offers additional reach and flexibility, supporting accurate placement and secure knot formation during deeper or more complex surgical procedures.

This suture is bi-directional and fitted with a B-14 taper point needle (22 mm). The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, helping to minimise tissue trauma during approximation. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring durable non-absorbable wound closure.
