Ethicon Prolene Sutures are non-absorbable, synthetic monofilament sutures designed for strength, precision, and reliability. Made from isotactic crystalline polypropylene, Prolene sutures are dyed blue for enhanced visibility during procedures. They offer excellent tensile strength, minimal tissue reactivity, and smooth passage through tissue. This configuration features an FS-1 (24.00mm) needle with a 3/8 circle curvature, making it suitable for a wide range of soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and general surgery. Trusted worldwide, Ethicon Prolene sutures are designed to provide dependable performance and long-term support where extended wound closure strength is required.
