Description

The PROLENE™ Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 4-0, 14", with V-47 TAPERCUT™ Needle is a synthetic nonabsorbable surgical suture designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. Manufactured from polypropylene, a linear hydrocarbon polymer, this monofilament suture offers exceptional biocompatibility and minimal tissue reactivity.

The TAPERCUT™ Needle combines a taper body with a cutting tip, enabling smooth penetration through both tough and delicate tissues. The V-47 needle is engineered for precision, especially in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures, where exact control is critical. Its design provides a secure grip and reduced risk of needle-related trauma, supporting optimal surgical outcomes in high-demand environments.

PROLENE™ Sutures exhibit low tissue adherence, which facilitates easy removal and minimizes trauma during suture extraction. The monofilament construction also helps reduce the risk of bacterial colonization, making it an excellent choice for clean surgical fields. Its bright blue color enhances visibility in tissue, allowing for efficient placement and easy identification during removal.
