This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8689, is engineered for dependable soft tissue and skin approximation in procedures 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 in applications. The extended 100 cm strand length provides increased flexibility and reach during deeper or more complex surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied with a CEC135-40 conventional cutting needle (40 mm). The conventional cutting configuration enables sharp penetration of skin and tougher dermal tissue, supporting controlled and secure closure in patients. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
