This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture, product code EPH8716H, is engineered for dependable, long-term soft tissue approximation where controlled handling and minimal tissue response are essential. Manufactured from blue dyed polypropylene monofilament, the suture provides excellent tensile strength retention, low tissue drag, and resistance to bacterial adherence.

The USP 4-0 diameter offers a balance of strength and flexibility, making it suitable for general soft tissue, cardiovascular, and ophthalmic procedures. The 75 cm suture length provides extended working reach and versatility across surgical applications.

EPH8716H is supplied with two BV-1 taperpoint needles, each measuring 9.3 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The taperpoint geometry supports smooth tissue penetration with reduced trauma, while EVERPOINT technology ensures consistent needle sharpness and predictable penetration performance.

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