Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture | USP 3 | 75 cm | BV-1 Taperpoint Needles 9.3 mm | 3/8 Circle with EVERPOINT Technology | EP8719H (Box of 36)
This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture, product code EP8719H, is designed for high-strength, permanent soft tissue approximation where durability and reliable handling are required. Manufactured from blue dyed polypropylene monofilament, the suture provides excellent long-term tensile strength retention, minimal tissue reactivity, and low tissue drag.
The USP 3 diameter offers increased strength for closure of fascia, muscle, and other load-bearing soft tissues. The 75 cm suture length allows extended reach and flexibility during surgical procedures requiring secure wound support.
EP8719H is supplied with two BV-1 taperpoint needles, each measuring 9.3 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The taperpoint design 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.
