Nonabsorbable Suture with Needle Prolene™ Polypropylene PC-3 3/8 Circle Precision Conventional Cutting Needle Size 4 - 0 Monofilament

Prolene suture with needle is a nonabsorbable monofilament suture for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. Buyers may choose it for procedures where long-term tensile strength retention and smooth tissue passage matter, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, neurological, and skin closure use. This version uses a PC-3 3/8 circle precision conventional cutting needle and comes in a box of 12.

Good Fit For

• General soft tissue approximation and ligation
• Cardiovascular procedures
• Ophthalmic procedures
• Neurological procedures

Key Features

• Nonabsorbable monofilament suture for general soft tissue approximation and ligation
• PC-3 3/8 circle precision conventional cutting needle supports controlled placement
• Conventional cutting needle suits procedures that call for that needle style
• Non-adherent to tissue, making it well suited for skin closure
• Bright blue color helps with suture visibility and removal
• Indefinite tensile strength retention for applications needing lasting support

Applications and Usage

• Skin closure where tissue non-adherence can aid removal
• General soft tissue approximation during surgical procedures
• Ligation in procedures requiring a nonabsorbable monofilament suture

Packaging and Handling

• Packaging: BX.
• This is a nonabsorbable suture, so it is intended for applications where the suture should remain in place rather than be absorbed.
