This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 8841H, is engineered for ultra-fine vascular and microsurgical tissue approximation where precision handling and minimal tissue trauma are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® delivers smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and reliable permanent wound support.

The USP 8-0 (Metric 0.4) diameter provides ultra-fine tensile performance suitable for microvascular repair and delicate anastomosis procedures. The 60 cm strand length allows controlled placement and flexibility during microsurgical suturing.

This product features a BV175-6 taper point needle. The taper point geometry ensures atraumatic vessel penetration, supporting accurate placement and consistent microvascular suturing performance. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
