Description

PROLENE™ Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 5-0, 36", with Double-Armed BB Needle, is a sterile nonabsorbable surgical suture composed of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin. Its monofilament structure ensures minimal tissue drag, reduced risk of bacterial colonization, and enhanced passage through tissue, making it suitable for delicate and high-precision surgical procedures.

The suture is primarily indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. It is frequently utilized in cardiovascular, neurological, and ophthalmic procedures where long-term tensile support and minimal tissue reactivity are essential. Its inert nature ensures a low inflammatory response, promoting optimal healing with minimal scar formation.

The BB needle configuration is a Taper Point type, designed for smooth penetration of soft tissues without cutting. This double-armed design allows for balanced suture placement across complex or circular closures. The 36-inch length provides sufficient reach for long or deep closures, especially in cardiovascular or gastrointestinal surgeries.
