Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture USP 5-0 75 cm RB-2 Taper Point Needle W8710 (Box of 12)

This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code W8710, is engineered for reliable soft tissue and dermal approximation where refined handling and permanent tensile strength are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and durable wound stability.

The USP 5-0 (Metric 1) diameter offers balanced tensile performance suitable for delicate soft tissue and layered closure procedures. The 75 cm strand length supports accurate placement and secure knot tying during precise surgical applications.

This suture is fitted with an RB-2 taper point needle. The taper point configuration enables atraumatic penetration by separating tissue fibres rather than cutting, helping to minimise tissue trauma while maintaining controlled placement. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
