Ethicon | Prolene Polypropylene Suture | Non-Absorbable Synthetic Monofilament | Model C827G | Single-Armed Precision Cosmetic Cutting P-3

The Ethicon C827G is a high-precision, sterile, synthetic non-absorbable surgical suture manufactured from an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene. Engineered as a perfectly smooth monofilament strand, Prolene virtually eliminates cellular tissue drag and dynamic friction during placement. Polypropylene is designed for setups requiring permanent or long-term wound support, remaining completely unaffected by active in vivo enzymatic digestion or chemical hydrolysis. This chemical inertness ensures the thread maintains its baseline structural tensile strength indefinitely post-implantation while prompting minimal acute localized inflammatory tissue reactions.
