This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8020T, is engineered for reliable dermal and soft tissue approximation where controlled penetration and long-term tensile strength are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.

The USP 4-0 diameter delivers balanced tensile performance suitable for skin and general soft tissue closure. The 45 cm strand length supports accurate placement and secure knot tying during routine and specialist surgical procedures.

This suture is fitted with a PC-25 PRIME™ conventional cutting needle (26 mm). The conventional cutting configuration enables sharp penetration of skin and tougher tissue layers, while PRIME™ geometry enhances needle strength and stability during passage. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 24, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
