Description
PROLENE™ Blue USP 6-0 (W8005T) is manufactured from polypropylene, a synthetic, non-absorbable monofilament material renowned for its minimal tissue reactivity, smooth tissue passage, and long-term tensile strength retention. The monofilament design reduces tissue drag and limits bacterial harbourage, making it particularly suitable for delicate skin closure and precision surgical work.
As a non-absorbable suture, PROLENE™ is ideal where prolonged or permanent tissue approximation is required, or where planned suture removal is part of post-operative management. The USP 6-0 size supports ultra-fine tissue handling and precise approximation, contributing to improved cosmetic outcomes in delicate or visible areas.
The blue coloration enhances visibility against tissue, aiding accurate placement and knot management in fine operative fields. Supplied with a 16 mm conventional cutting PC needle (3/8 circle), this configuration provides controlled cutting action and efficient penetration for skin and firmer tissues while maintaining excellent control in confined surgical sites.
Individually sterile packed, PROLENE™ W8005T delivers consistent, trusted performance manufactured by Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson) for high-precision veterinary and medical wound closure.
