This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, model 8685H, is engineered for secure approximation of dense and high-tension tissues where strength and controlled penetration are essential. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® provides smooth tissue passage, minimal inflammatory response and reliable permanent wound support.

The USP 2-0 diameter delivers substantial tensile performance suitable for major skin closure and tough soft tissue repair. The 45 cm (18 inch) strand length allows precise placement and controlled knot tying during wound approximation.

This product features an FS reverse cutting needle (26 mm). The reverse cutting geometry enhances needle strength and reduces tissue cut-through risk while enabling efficient penetration of dermal and tough tissues. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this suture is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable non-absorbable closure.
