Prolene nonabsorbable suture with needle is a monofilament polypropylene suture with a PS-2 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. Buyers may choose it for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures, as well as skin closure where a non-adherent suture can be useful. This size 5-0 option pairs an 18 inch blue suture with a 19 mm stainless steel needle.
