Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture W8304
This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, product code W8304, is engineered for fine soft tissue and vascular approximation in procedures where precision and enhanced needle visibility are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.
The USP 7-0 diameter provides refined handling characteristics suitable for delicate tissue layers requiring controlled tension. The 60 cm strand length supports accurate placement and secure knot tying during intricate surgical procedures.
This suture is supplied double-armed with two BV-1 VB VISIBLACK® taper point needles (9.3 mm). The VISIBLACK® needle coating enhances contrast within the operative field, improving visibility during delicate procedures. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
