  • Prolene Is a Nonabsorbable Monofilament - Suture indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and ligation.
  • Used in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological procedure
  • Nonabsorbable polypropylene monofilament - retains tensile strength indefinitely in tissue without degradation, making it ideal for permanent closure.
  • Non-adherent to tissue - polypropylene surface slides smoothly through tissue with minimal drag, ideal for skin closure and pull-out suture techniques.
  • Excellent knot security - blue dye enhances visibility of suture and knots in the surgical field during placement and inspection.
  • Biologically inert - polypropylene is highly biocompatible with minimal tissue reactivity, reducing the risk of suture-related inflammation.
  • Cutting Needle Design - the cutting edge reduces insertion force, enabling precise needle placement through tough tissue layers.
