Description

PROLENE™ Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 5-0, 18", Pc-5 Needle is a nonabsorbable sterile surgical suture composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene. It is a synthetic monofilament suture engineered for minimal tissue reactivity and long-term tensile strength retention.

The suture is designed for use in general soft tissue approximation and ligation, and is particularly suited for cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries. The reverse cutting P-6 needle facilitates precise penetration of dense and delicate tissues, allowing for controlled and secure wound closure.

A key feature of PROLENE™ is its non-adherent surface, making it ideal for skin closure and easy removal after wound healing. The vibrant blue pigmentation enhances intraoperative visibility and post-operative detection, aiding in accurate placement and complete retrieval of suture material during removal.
