This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code W8683, is engineered for reliable dermal and soft tissue approximation in animal health procedures where precision and long-term tensile stability are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and permanent wound support.

The USP 4-0 diameter delivers balanced tensile performance suitable for veterinary skin and soft tissue closure. The 45 cm strand length supports accurate placement and secure knot tying during routine and specialist animal surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied with an FS-2 reverse cutting needle (19 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.
