This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code F2828H, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation where refined handling and long-term tensile support 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 strength suitable for dermal and general soft tissue closure. The 75 cm strand length supports accurate placement and secure knot tying across a wide range of surgical procedures.

This suture is bi-directional and fitted with a V-4 TAPERCUT® needle (17 mm). The TAPERCUT® configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, facilitating controlled penetration of slightly resistant or fibrous tissue while maintaining needle stability. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring reliable non-absorbable wound closure.
