This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8525, is engineered for dependable soft tissue and fascial approximation where enhanced tensile strength and extended reach are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.

The USP 3-0 diameter delivers balanced tensile performance suitable for moderate-tension soft tissue and layered closure applications. The extended 90 cm strand length supports efficient continuous suturing and controlled knot placement in deeper or more complex procedures.

This suture is bi-directional and supplied double-armed with two MH-1 taper point needles (31 mm), manufactured from 4310 alloy for consistent strength and reliability. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, helping to minimise tissue trauma during 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.
