Nonabsorbable Suture with Needle Prolene™ Polypropylene TP-1 1/2 Circle Taper Point Needle Size 2 Monofilament, 12/BX

Prolene nonabsorbable suture with needle is a sterile monofilament polypropylene suture for soft tissue approximation and ligation. Buyers may choose it for procedures in general soft tissue work, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, neurological, and skin closure applications where a taper point needle and non-adherent suture are preferred. This SKU pairs a TP-1 1/2 circle taper point needle with a 60 inch size 2 blue suture.

Good Fit For
