Description

Prolene Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 6-0, 18", Double-Armed BV-1 Needle is a synthetic nonabsorbable suture composed of isotactic crystalline polypropylene. The monofilament design offers minimal tissue drag, ensuring smooth passage through tissue with reduced trauma. The blue pigmentation enhances visibility during placement and removal, supporting precise surgical performance.

This configuration includes two BV-1 needles with taper point tips, designed for secure and atraumatic penetration of soft tissues. The 6-0 size is suitable for delicate tissue approximation, especially in microsurgical applications where fine handling and minimal tissue disruption are required. The double-armed format allows for symmetric suture placement across wound edges or anastomoses.

Prolene is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. It is widely utilized in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries due to its biocompatibility and non-adherent nature. The monofilament structure resists bacterial harboring and inflammation, making it ideal for use in critical and clean surgical fields.
