Description

The Prolene Mono Blue 5-0 18 FS2 Suture, featuring a Reverse Cutting Needle, is a high-performance surgical suture designed for a range of specialized applications. Prolene is a nonabsorbable monofilament suture known for its exceptional strength and durability. This suture is particularly suitable for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, ensuring reliable and secure tissue closure.

The suture's monofilament construction prevents adherence to tissue, making it ideal for skin closures where minimal tissue reaction and easy passage through tissue are critical. This non-adherence feature enhances the precision and efficiency of suturing, particularly in delicate procedures. The bright blue color of the suture aids in its visibility during surgical procedures, facilitating easier removal and reducing the likelihood of leaving residual suture material.

Prolene sutures maintain tensile strength indefinitely, ensuring long-term performance and stability. This property is essential for procedures where prolonged support is required, such as in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries. The reverse cutting needle enhances the suture's performance by providing a sharp cutting edge that reduces tissue drag and minimizes trauma.
