Description

PROLENE™ Monofilament Suture, Undyed, Size 6-0, 18", with Single-Armed P-1 Needle, is a nonabsorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene. It is a monofilament suture that offers smooth passage through tissue with minimal drag and a low incidence of tissue reaction.

The suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and ligation. It is especially suitable for procedures requiring permanent tensile strength, such as cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries. Due to its inert nature, PROLENE™ is non-adherent to tissue, making it highly effective in skin closure where ease of removal and minimal tissue encapsulation are desired.

Equipped with a reverse cutting P-1 needle, this configuration ensures precision and efficiency when penetrating tough or fibrous tissues. The reverse cutting edge enhances needle strength and minimizes tissue trauma during skin or fascia closure. The 6-0 size is ideal for delicate surgeries requiring fine suturing and minimal scarring.
