Understanding polypropylene and PROLENE
Polypropylene identifies the synthetic polymer material. PROLENE is Ethicon’s branded range and includes many product-specific suture and mesh configurations. Similar-looking items are not interchangeable: always match the full manufacturer code and supplied specification.
