Description

The PROLENE™ Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 9-0, 6", with TG140-8 needle is a synthetic, nonabsorbable suture composed of polypropylene. This monofilament suture is designed for microsurgical precision, offering high tensile strength, smooth tissue passage, and minimal tissue reactivity. Its inert structure ensures long-term wound support and is particularly suitable for delicate anatomical structures requiring permanent closure.

The TG140-8 needle is a 6.5 mm spatula needle specifically crafted for ophthalmic procedures. Its flat, thin geometry provides exceptional control and accurate placement in fine tissues such as the sclera and cornea. The spatula design allows for precise lamellar passage, making it optimal for anterior segment surgeries and other microsurgical ophthalmic interventions.

PROLENE™ maintains indefinite tensile strength, ensuring consistent wound support without degradation. The suture’s smooth monofilament surface minimizes drag and resists adherence to surrounding tissue, facilitating secure yet atraumatic closure. Its construction provides excellent handling characteristics and reliable knot security, critical in precision-driven procedures.
