Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Surgical Suture USP 0 100 cm CP Reverse Cutting Needle (40 mm) W8470 (Box of 12)

This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code W8470, is engineered for high-strength soft tissue and dermal approximation in animal health procedures where durability and extended reach are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound stability.

The USP 0 diameter delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for moderate to high-tension soft tissue closure in veterinary applications. The extended 100 cm strand length provides enhanced reach and flexibility during deeper or more complex animal surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied with a CP reverse cutting needle (40 mm). The reverse cutting configuration enhances needle strength and reduces tissue cut-through risk, making it particularly suitable for skin and tougher dermal layers in animals. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional veterinary surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable wound closure.
