Nonabsorbable Suture with Needle Prolene Polypropylene FS-2 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle Size 3-0 Monofilament

Prolene is a monofilament suture, meaning it is non-adherent. This design allows it to pass through tissue very smoothly, which helps minimize tissue trauma during the closure process.

Yes, this suture is dyed a distinct bright blue. This high-contrast color ensures that it is easily identifiable against the skin, facilitating both the initial procedure and eventual removal.

Prolene is engineered from polypropylene, which provides indefinite tensile strength retention. This makes it an excellent choice for procedures where long-term, sustained wound support is required.

Yes, Prolene is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and ligation, which includes specialized fields such as cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures.

Yes, these are factory new, sterile sutures. They are delivered in individual medical-grade paper sleeves with all necessary regulatory and lot information clearly printed.

This product features a 19 mm, 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle (FS-2 code). The reverse cutting design is specifically crafted for precision in clinical surgical environments.

Yes, each strand is packaged with a rigid, white plastic tray inside the sterile sleeve. This keeps the stainless steel needle protected and the suture organized for immediate, sterile clinical use.

This product is sold as a 12-strand pack. Each strand is 18 inches (45 cm) in length and comes equipped with the FS-2 needle.

No, this specific Prolene suture is uncoated. Its smooth performance is due to its monofilament polypropylene construction rather than a surface coating.

This is a 3-0 suture size, which is standard for many soft tissue approximation procedures.
