This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8935, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation in procedures requiring long-term tensile stability and minimal tissue reaction. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® delivers smooth tissue passage, consistent handling and permanent wound support.

The USP 4-0 diameter provides balanced strength and control, making it suitable for delicate dermal and soft tissue layers requiring secure approximation without excessive bulk. The 90 cm strand length supports efficient suturing techniques and controlled placement during surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied with a V-5 tapercut needle (17 mm). The tapercut configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, allowing precise penetration of fibrous or moderately dense tissue while minimising unnecessary trauma. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring reliable non-absorbable wound closure.
