This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8849, is engineered for reliable soft tissue and dermal approximation in procedures where precision and long-term tensile stability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.

The USP 3-0 diameter delivers balanced tensile performance suitable for skin and moderate-tension soft tissue closure. The extended 90 cm strand length offers increased reach and flexibility for layered or continuous suturing techniques in surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied double-armed with two CC-30 TAPERCUT® needles (31 mm). The TAPERCUT® configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, enabling controlled penetration of slightly resistant or fibrous tissue while maintaining stability and precision. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
