This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8843, is engineered for dependable soft tissue and dermal approximation in procedures where enhanced tensile strength and extended reach are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides 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 90 cm strand length supports efficient layered or continuous suturing techniques during surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied double-armed with two V-7 TAPERCUT® needles (26 mm). The TAPERCUT® configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, enabling controlled penetration of dense or fibrous tissue while maintaining stability and accuracy. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
