Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture USP 10-0 30 cm Double-Armed TG140-8 Reverse Spatula Needles (6.5 mm) W1710 (Box of 12)
This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, product code W1710, is engineered for highly delicate surgical procedures requiring exceptional precision and long-term tensile stability. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.
The USP 10-0 diameter is intended for ultra-fine microsurgical and ophthalmic-level applications where meticulous handling and minimal tissue trauma are essential. The 30 cm strand length supports controlled placement within confined operative fields.
This suture is bi-directional and supplied double-armed with two TG140-8 reverse spatula needles (6.5 mm). The reverse spatula configuration is specifically designed for ophthalmic and corneal procedures, allowing precise lamellar dissection and controlled passage through delicate tissue layers while reducing the risk of unwanted 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.
