Description

The PROLENE™ Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 3-0, 30", with CT-2 Taper Point Needle, is a sterile, synthetic suture designed for use in soft tissue approximation and ligation. Made from polypropylene, a biologically inert material, it offers high biocompatibility with minimal tissue reaction. Its nonabsorbable nature ensures indefinite tensile strength, providing reliable and lasting support for tissues that require permanent approximation.

The CT-2 needle features a taper point design, allowing for smooth penetration through soft tissues without cutting. Its 1/2 circle curvature enhances maneuverability in confined anatomical spaces. This makes the needle suitable for delicate procedures in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological applications where precision and minimal tissue trauma are critical.

The monofilament structure of the PROLENE™ suture results in reduced tissue drag, easy passage, and minimal capillarity, which lowers the risk of bacterial migration. Its non-adherent characteristics make it ideal for use in skin closures and surgical sites where ease of suture removal is desired.
