This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8340, is engineered for reliable soft tissue and dermal approximation in procedures where precision and enhanced needle visibility are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.

The USP 4-0 diameter offers balanced tensile performance suitable for skin and soft tissue closure. The extended 90 cm strand length provides increased reach and flexibility during layered or continuous suturing techniques in surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied double-armed with two SH-2 VB VISIBLACK® taper point needles (20 mm). The VISIBLACK® coating enhances needle contrast within the operative field, improving control and placement accuracy. 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.
