Description

The PROLENE™ Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 2-0, 18", PS-2 Needle is a synthetic, nonabsorbable surgical suture composed of polypropylene. This monofilament structure provides minimal tissue reactivity, smooth passage through tissue, and long-term tensile strength.

This suture is designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation across multiple surgical specialties, including cardiovascular, neurological, and ophthalmic procedures. It is especially effective in situations requiring permanent suture retention or extended wound support.

The suture is equipped with a PS-2 reverse cutting needle, featuring a triangular cross-section for efficient penetration of tough or dense tissues such as skin. This needle design minimizes the risk of tissue tearing while providing superior control in confined or curved anatomical areas. The 1/2 circle shape supports precise maneuvering during suturing procedures.
