This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, product code W1713, is engineered for highly delicate surgical procedures requiring exceptional precision and long-term tensile stability. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and durable wound support.
The USP 10-0 diameter is intended for ultra-fine microsurgical and ophthalmic applications where meticulous handling and minimal tissue trauma are essential. The 23 cm strand length allows controlled placement within confined operative fields.
This suture is bi-directional and supplied double-armed with two STC-6 reverse spatula needles (16 mm), manufactured from 455 alloy for enhanced needle performance. The reverse spatula configuration is specifically designed for corneal and anterior segment procedures, enabling controlled lamellar passage while reducing the risk of unintended penetration depth. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional microsurgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
