This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code F2829, is engineered for reliable soft tissue approximation in procedures where precision and long-term wound stability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent tensile support.

The USP 5-0 diameter offers refined handling characteristics suitable for delicate dermal and soft tissue layers. The 75 cm strand length allows accurate placement and secure knot tying across a range of surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied double-armed with two V-4 TAPERCUT® needles (17 mm). The TAPERCUT® configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, facilitating controlled penetration of slightly resistant or fibrous tissue while maintaining precision. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
