This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8440G, is engineered for high-strength soft tissue and dermal approximation in procedures where durability 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 1 diameter delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for larger procedures and high-tension soft tissue closure. The extended 100 cm strand length provides enhanced reach and flexibility during deeper or more complex surgical applications.
