Ethicon | Prolene Suture | Blue Monofilament | 6-0 Sizing | 18 in | 8695G

The Ethicon 8695G is a high-performance, nonabsorbable synthetic surgical suture composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene. Engineered for maximum structural uniformity and smooth linear passage through tissue matrix layers, this monofilament suture provides permanent, indefinite tensile strength retention inside the body.

This specific configuration features an 18-inch (45 cm) strand length permanently attached to a high-precision P-3 MultiPass Prime reverse cutting needle. The suture material is pigmented intense blue to maximize its optical contrast against active surgical sites and anatomical fields.
