Ethicon PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture USP 6-0 60 cm BV-1 Taperpoint Needles 9.3 mm 3/8 Circle with EVERPOINT Technology EPH8710H (Box of 36)

This PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture, product code EPH8710H, is designed for precise, long-term soft tissue approximation where predictable handling and minimal tissue response are required. Manufactured from blue dyed polypropylene monofilament, the suture delivers excellent tensile strength retention, low tissue drag, and resistance to bacterial adherence.

The USP 6-0 diameter is suitable for fine soft tissue procedures requiring controlled handling and accurate placement. The 60 cm suture length provides a shorter working length, offering improved control during delicate surgical closure.

EPH8710H 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 reliable 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 dependable, permanent wound closure.
