This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture, product code EP87101H, is engineered for permanent soft tissue approximation where high strength and predictable handling are required. Manufactured from blue dyed polypropylene monofilament, the suture delivers excellent tensile strength retention, minimal tissue reactivity, and low tissue drag.

The USP 1 diameter provides substantial strength for closure of fascia, muscle, and other load-bearing soft tissues. The 75 cm suture length offers extended reach and flexibility during surgical procedures requiring secure wound support.

EP87101H is supplied with two BV-1 taperpoint needles, each measuring 9.3 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The taperpoint geometry enables smooth tissue penetration with reduced trauma, while EVERPOINT technology ensures consistent needle sharpness and predictable penetration performance throughout use.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is intended for professional clinical and hospital environments requiring durable, permanent wound closure.
