This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code W8831, is engineered for reliable soft tissue and dermal 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 provides balanced tensile performance suitable for veterinary skin and soft tissue closure. The extended 90 cm strand length offers increased reach and flexibility for layered or continuous suturing techniques in animal surgical procedures.

This suture is supplied double-armed with two CC-16 TAPERCUT CC needles (16 mm). The TAPERCUT CC configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, enabling controlled penetration of slightly resistant tissue while maintaining stability and precision. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional veterinary surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
