Description

PROLENE™ Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 4-0, 36", Double-Armed BB Needle is a nonabsorbable sterile surgical suture composed of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin. The monofilament structure ensures a smooth surface, facilitating passage through tissue with minimal trauma.

The suture is supplied with a double-armed BB taper point needle, providing controlled placement during suturing and ensuring precise approximation of soft tissues. The taper point design allows for smooth penetration through delicate and vascular tissues without cutting, making it particularly suited for use in cardiovascular and ophthalmic applications.

The bright blue color enhances intraoperative visibility and facilitates easy suture identification and removal postoperatively. Due to its non-absorbable nature, Prolene maintains its tensile strength indefinitely, offering prolonged wound support in tissues that heal slowly or require permanent mechanical reinforcement.
