Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture USP 5-0 60 cm TF-1 Taper Point Needle PUU5662SH (Box of 36)

This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code PUU5662SH, is engineered for reliable soft tissue approximation where refined handling and permanent wound support are required. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and sustained tensile strength.

The USP 5-0 (Metric 1) diameter offers balanced performance suitable for delicate dermal and soft tissue closure. The 60 cm strand length supports controlled placement and secure knot tying during precise surgical procedures.

This suture is fitted with a TF-1 taper point needle. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, helping to reduce tissue trauma during approximation in delicate tissue layers. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
