Description

Prolene Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 1-0, 30", CT Needle is a synthetic, nonabsorbable surgical suture composed of polypropylene. The monofilament structure ensures smooth passage through tissues, reducing trauma and minimizing tissue reaction. Its bright blue coloration improves visibility during suturing and aids in easy identification for removal.

The suture is equipped with a CT needle, characterized by a taper point design suitable for soft tissue penetration with minimal cutting. The needle's stainless steel construction provides strength and resistance to deformation during use. The 30-inch length offers versatility for a variety of surgical procedures requiring precise tissue approximation.

Prolene is widely indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. Its applications extend to cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries due to its inert properties and long-term durability. The nonadherent nature of the suture prevents tissue attachment, making it ideal for skin closures where easy suture removal is necessary.
