Description

Prolene Monofilament Suture is a nonabsorbable surgical suture composed of polypropylene, designed for reliable soft tissue approximation and ligation. Its monofilament construction offers minimal tissue drag and reduces the risk of infection, making it suitable for a wide range of surgical procedures. 

The suture is dyed bright blue to enhance visibility during surgical procedures and facilitate easy removal after healing. Its smooth surface allows for precise tissue penetration and minimal trauma, improving handling characteristics. Prolene’s non-adherent property prevents it from sticking to tissue, making it ideal for skin closure and minimizing tissue reaction.

Prolene is widely used in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological surgeries due to its high strength and biocompatibility. It maintains tensile strength indefinitely, ensuring wound stability throughout the healing process. The suture’s flexibility and knot security contribute to its versatility in delicate and complex procedures.
