Description

The PROLENE™ Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 6-0, 30", Double-Armed C-1 Needle is a synthetic nonabsorbable surgical suture composed of isotactic polypropylene. This monofilament structure provides smooth passage through tissue with minimal trauma and exhibits low tissue reactivity. The blue coloration improves intraoperative visibility and facilitates suture identification and removal.

This suture is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, particularly in cardiovascular, neurological, and ophthalmic procedures. It is well-suited for areas requiring precision and consistent tensile support. Its inert properties ensure prolonged strength retention and minimal inflammatory response, making it a preferred choice in long-term applications.

Equipped with two C-1 taper point needles, this configuration allows for efficient bilateral suturing in confined or delicate anatomical spaces. The taper point needle design enables smooth penetration through soft tissue without cutting, reducing the risk of trauma during needle passage. The double-armed configuration enhances control during surgical repair, especially in microsurgical and fine-tissue procedures.
