Description

PROLENE™ Monofilament Suture, Size 4-0, 18", Blue, with PS-5 needle, is a sterile, nonabsorbable surgical suture made from polypropylene, a synthetic linear hydrocarbon polymer. This monofilament structure offers minimal tissue drag and excellent biocompatibility, making it suitable for precise and atraumatic wound closure.

The material composition of PROLENE™ ensures indefinite tensile strength retention, as it is not degraded or absorbed by body tissues. It elicits only a minimal inflammatory response, making it ideal for long-term applications in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures where permanent support is required.

The PS-5 reverse cutting needle is designed for dense or tough tissues, providing superior penetration and controlled suturing in areas such as skin and fascia. This single-armed configuration offers precision placement and is commonly used in delicate soft tissue approximation where consistent handling, knot security, and minimal reactivity are essential to optimal surgical outcomes.
