Description

Prolene Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 4-0, 18", with a PC-1 conventional cutting needle is a synthetic, nonabsorbable surgical suture made from polypropylene. Its monofilament structure ensures minimal tissue drag and low tissue reactivity, making it suitable for a wide range of surgical applications requiring long-term wound support. 

The PC-1 needle is a conventional cutting needle designed for efficient penetration through dense or tough tissues, such as skin. Its precision-ground cutting edge allows clean and controlled tissue entry, reducing trauma and promoting accurate wound closure. This needle type is especially suited for skin and other hard tissue closures where precision and control are critical.

Prolene’s nonabsorbable nature ensures indefinite tensile strength retention. It does not degrade over time, providing durable tissue approximation and ligation in procedures where long-term or permanent support is required. The material does not adhere to tissue, making it ideal for skin closure and minimizing the risk of tissue embedding or inflammation.
