Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Microsurgical Suture USP 8-0 13 cm BV130-4 MULTIPASS Taper Point Needle (5 mm) W2779 (Box of 12)
This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Microsurgical Suture, product code W2779, is engineered for delicate soft tissue and microvascular approximation in animal health procedures where precision and long-term tensile stability are critical. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.
The USP 8-0 diameter is suitable for ultra-fine veterinary tissue layers requiring meticulous handling and minimal tissue trauma. The short 13 cm strand length provides enhanced control within confined operative fields.
This suture is supplied with a BV130-4 MP taper point needle (5 mm). Featuring MULTIPASS® technology, the needle is designed to maintain sharpness through repeated passes, supporting consistent penetration performance. The taper point configuration allows atraumatic fibre separation rather than cutting, helping to reduce tissue trauma during delicate approximation. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional veterinary microsurgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
