This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Microsurgical Suture, product code W8702S, is engineered for fine vascular and soft tissue approximation where precision handling and long-term tensile stability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.

The USP 7-0 diameter offers refined handling characteristics suitable for delicate tissue layers requiring controlled tension. Each pack contains four 60 cm strands in a bi-directional double-armed configuration, supporting efficient procedural workflow and multiple anastomosis or closure applications within a single sterile pack.

Each strand is double-armed with two BV175-8 MP taper point needles (9.3 mm), manufactured from 4310 alloy for strength and consistency. MULTIPASS® technology is designed to maintain needle sharpness through repeated passes, ensuring consistent penetration performance. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic fibre separation rather than cutting. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 packs (each containing 4 strands), this product is intended for professional microsurgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
