Nonabsorbable Suture with Needle Prolene™ Polypropylene PS-1 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting Needle Size 3 - 0 Monofilament

Prolene suture with needle is a nonabsorbable polypropylene monofilament suture paired with a PS-1 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. Buyers may choose it for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, neurological, and skin closure procedures. This version has a size 3 - 0 suture, an 18 inch strand, and a 24 mm stainless steel needle in bright blue for easier visibility during removal.

Good Fit For

• General soft tissue approximation and ligation
• Skin closure workflows
• Cardiovascular procedures
• Ophthalmic and neurological procedures

Key Features

• PS-1 precision reverse cutting needle supports controlled passage through tissue
• 3/8 circle, 24 mm stainless steel needle offers a defined needle format for procedural preference
• Bright blue suture color helps with visibility and removal
• Non-adherent to tissue, making it well suited for skin closure
• Indefinite tensile strength retention for long-term support

Applications and Usage

• Closing skin where a non-adherent suture may help with removal
• General soft tissue approximation in procedural settings
• Ligation tasks requiring a nonabsorbable monofilament suture
• Procedure trays that call for a PS-1 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle
