Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture F1841
This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code F1841, is engineered for delicate soft tissue and vascular approximation in procedures where precision and long-term tensile performance are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.
The USP 6-0 diameter offers refined handling characteristics suitable for fine tissue layers requiring controlled tension. The 60 cm strand length supports accurate placement and secure knot tying during intricate surgical procedures.
This suture is supplied double-armed with two BV taper point needles (11 mm). The taper point configuration allows atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, helping to reduce tissue trauma during approximation in delicate tissues. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
