Description

Prolene Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 5-0, 30", RB-1 Needle is a synthetic, nonabsorbable surgical suture composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene. This material offers excellent biocompatibility, producing only a minimal tissue reaction. The suture’s smooth surface reduces tissue drag and allows precise placement during delicate surgical procedures.

Equipped with a Taper Point RB-1 needle, the suture is designed for gentle penetration and smooth passage through soft tissue, minimizing trauma. The needle's 3/8 circle curvature supports controlled handling, especially in confined anatomical areas. 

The blue color of the suture provides enhanced visibility during placement and facilitates easy identification during removal. It is particularly useful for skin closure, cardiovascular, neurological, and ophthalmic applications. Its non-adherent property ensures that the suture does not bond with tissue, aiding in cleaner healing and smoother suture removal.
