Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture USP 6-0 60 cm C-1 Taper Point Needle W8718 (Box of 12)

This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, product code W8718, is engineered for fine soft tissue and vascular approximation where precision handling and long-term tensile stability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.

The USP 6-0 (Metric 0.7) diameter offers refined handling characteristics suitable for delicate tissue layers requiring controlled tension. The 60 cm strand length supports accurate placement and secure knot tying during intricate surgical procedures.

This suture is fitted with a C-1 taper point needle. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, helping to minimise tissue trauma during delicate approximation. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
