This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 8663G, is engineered for reliable skin and soft tissue approximation where controlled penetration and long-term durability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.

The USP 3-0 diameter offers balanced tensile strength suitable for dermatologic and general surgical closure. The 45 cm (18 inch) strand length allows precise placement and efficient knot tying during wound approximation.

This product features a PS-1 MULTIPASS® prime reverse cutting needle (24 mm). The reverse cutting geometry enhances needle strength and reduces tissue cut-through risk, while MULTIPASS® technology maintains sharpness through repeated passes. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this suture is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
