Ethicon PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Surgical Suture – USP 0 – 100 cm – V-38 Tapercut Needle (31 mm) – W982G (Box of 12)
This PROLENE® Polypropylene Blue Non-Absorbable Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code W982G, is engineered for reliable soft tissue approximation in animal health procedures requiring substantial tensile strength and minimal tissue reaction. Manufactured from non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament, PROLENE® ensures smooth tissue passage, consistent handling and permanent wound support.
The USP 0 diameter provides strong tensile performance suitable for veterinary fascial and soft tissue layers requiring secure approximation and dependable knot integrity. The 100 cm strand length supports continuous suturing techniques and controlled placement during general and advanced animal surgical procedures.
This suture is supplied with a V-38 tapercut needle (31 mm). The tapercut configuration combines a tapered body with a cutting tip, enabling precise penetration of fibrous or moderately dense animal tissue while reducing unnecessary trauma. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional veterinary surgical environments requiring durable non-absorbable wound closure.
