This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8571, is engineered for reliable soft tissue and dermal approximation in procedures where enhanced tensile strength and extended reach are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.

The USP 2-0 diameter delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for moderate to high-tension soft tissue closure in applications. The 90 cm strand length offers increased flexibility and reach during layered or deeper surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied with a KS-55 reverse cutting needle (55 mm). The reverse cutting configuration enhances needle strength and reduces tissue cut-through risk, making it particularly suitable for skin and tougher dermal layers in . Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
