Description

Prolene Mono Blue 3-0 Sutures with an 18-inch length and PC-5 conventional cutting needle are designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. This nonabsorbable suture is crafted from polypropylene, a synthetic monofilament material that exhibits excellent tensile strength.

The bright blue color of Prolene sutures enhances visibility, allowing for easier identification and removal during the healing process. This feature is particularly beneficial in skin closures, where suture removal is required post-healing. The monofilament design of the suture also provides non-adherence to tissue, minimizing tissue drag and reducing the risk of infection or trauma during suture removal.

Prolene sutures are widely used in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries due to their strength and versatility. Their ability to retain tensile strength indefinitely ensures that the wound remains securely closed until natural tissue healing is complete.

The PC-5 conventional cutting needle is specifically designed to facilitate precision in soft tissue penetration and approximation. It provides smooth tissue passage, reducing trauma during suturing and promoting efficient wound closure.
