Description

Prolene Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 4-0, 36", Double-Armed SH Needle is a synthetic, nonabsorbable surgical suture composed of polypropylene. This monofilament structure allows for smooth tissue passage with minimal drag and reduced tissue trauma. Its composition provides long-term strength and stability, making it suitable for a range of surgical procedures that require extended wound support.

The suture is equipped with two SH (taper point) needles, offering enhanced precision during soft tissue approximation. The taper point needle ensures smooth entry and minimizes cutting through tissue, making it appropriate for use in delicate and internal soft tissues. The double-armed configuration allows symmetrical suturing in procedures requiring even tension distribution across both sides of the wound.

This suture is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. It is commonly used in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries due to its biologically inert properties. The bright blue pigmentation of the suture enhances intraoperative visibility and assists in easy identification during post-operative removal.
