Ethicon 8410H 3-0 PROLENE BLUE 1X30" CT-2 Box of 36

Ethicon PROLENE® Polypropylene 3-0 | 8410H | 26mm CT-2 Taper | 30" Blue | BX/36

The Ethicon 8410H (PROLENE®) is a high-performance, non-absorbable monofilament suture engineered for permanent soft tissue approximation and ligation. In Size 3-0 (2.0 metric), this suture offers an ideal balance of high tensile strength and a fine profile, making it a clinical staple for closing deep tissue layers, performing bowel anastomoses, and securing vascular grafts.

PROLENE® is a synthetic linear polyolefin that is internationally recognized for its extreme biological inertness. Unlike natural fibers, it does not cause the inflammatory response that can lead to scarring or tissue degradation. Its monofilament structure ensures a smooth, "frictionless" passage through delicate tissue, significantly reducing the risk of "sawing" or accidental trauma during placement.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Atraumatic CT-2 Taper Needle: The 26mm CT-2 is a versatile "Circle Taper" needle designed to pierce and then spread tissue fibers rather than cutting them. This is critical for maintaining the structural integrity of soft tissues and preventing "needle-hole" leakage in fluid-carrying vessels or organs.

• Indefinite Tensile Strength: PROLENE® is not weakened by the body's natural enzymes. It provides permanent support, making it the gold standard for patients with compromised healing or for structural repairs that must withstand long-term physiological stress.

• Superior "Glide" Characteristics: The extremely smooth surface of the polypropylene monofilament allows the 8410H to pass through dense or friable tissue with minimal resistance. This promotes faster surgical handling and reduces the risk of post-operative tissue irritation.

• Exceptional Knot Security: Despite its smooth surface, PROLENE® is engineered to provide a secure mechanical lock. When the knot is seated, the material slightly flattens, increasing the surface area contact and preventing slippage under tension.

• Infection Resistance: As a non-porous monofilament, this suture does not support bacterial "wicking" or colonization within the strand. This makes it an excellent choice for use in contaminated or potentially infected surgical fields.
