Description

Suture, Prolene Mono Blue 4-0 18 PS2 is a nonabsorbable, synthetic surgical suture composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene. This monofilament suture is designed to provide superior tensile strength and durability, ensuring reliable performance in various surgical applications. The Prolene suture's smooth surface minimizes tissue drag, facilitating easier passage through tissue and reducing the risk of trauma.

The blue coloration of the suture enhances visibility during surgical procedures, aiding in precise placement and ensuring accurate knot tying. The 4-0 size and 18-inch length, coupled with the PS2 needle, offer versatility for use in delicate surgeries where precision is paramount. The monofilament structure of Prolene also contributes to its high resistance to bacterial infection, making it an ideal choice for contaminated or infection-prone surgical sites.

Prolene sutures are particularly effective in cardiovascular, plastic, and general soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures. In cardiovascular surgeries, the suture's strength and flexibility support the dynamic nature of heart and vascular tissues, ensuring secure anastomosis and repair. In plastic surgery, the suture's minimal tissue reaction and smooth passage help achieve optimal cosmetic outcomes by reducing scarring and promoting better healing.
