Description

The PROLENE™ Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 10-0, 8", with a CIF-4 needle, is a synthetic nonabsorbable surgical suture composed of polypropylene, a stereoisomer of a linear hydrocarbon polymer. It is specially designed for high-precision tissue approximation where extended tensile strength is required. The monofilament structure ensures smooth passage through tissue with minimal trauma and reduced risk of infection.

The bright blue pigmentation enhances intraoperative visibility and facilitates suture identification during postoperative removal. The suture maintains tensile strength indefinitely within the body, making it particularly suitable for long-term wound support in delicate tissues. Its non-absorbable nature and excellent handling characteristics make it a trusted choice in microsurgical and ophthalmic procedures.

This size 10-0 variant is primarily intended for microsurgical applications, including ophthalmology and neurosurgery, where minimal tissue reactivity and long-lasting support are critical. The Tapercut needle offers precision penetration, combining the characteristics of a taper point with cutting edges to pass easily through dense, fibrous, or calcified tissue.
