Description

Prolene Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 2, 60", TP-1 Needle is a sterile, nonabsorbable surgical suture composed of a synthetic polypropylene polymer. The monofilament design ensures smooth passage through tissues, minimizing tissue drag and reducing trauma during surgical interventions. Its high tensile strength and flexibility contribute to precise wound approximation and long-term wound support.

The suture is equipped with a TP-1 taper point needle, which provides gradual penetration through soft tissues without cutting. This needle type is suitable for use in deep or delicate tissue layers where minimal tissue disruption is essential. The extended suture length of 60 inches is designed for procedures requiring greater reach and consistent suture handling.

Indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, Prolene is frequently used in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries. Its biologically inert properties reduce the risk of tissue reactivity and inflammation, ensuring optimal healing conditions.
