Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture USP 2-0 120 cm V-5 TAPERCUT Needle (17 mm) F2827 (Box of 36)
This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code F2827, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation where enhanced tensile strength and extended strand length are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.
The USP 2-0 diameter delivers increased tensile performance suitable for fascial closure and moderate to higher-tension soft tissue applications. The extended 120 cm strand length offers additional reach and flexibility, supporting accurate placement and secure knot tying during deeper or more complex procedures.
This suture is bi-directional and fitted with a V-5 TAPERCUT® needle (17 mm). The TAPERCUT® configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, facilitating controlled penetration of dense or fibrous tissue while maintaining stability and precision. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring durable non-absorbable wound closure.
