Ethicon 8425H 1 PROLENE BLUE 1X30" CT-1 BX/36

Ethicon 8425H 1 PROLENE BLUE 1X30" CT-1 BX/36

The Ethicon 8425H (PROLENE®) is a heavy-gauge, non-absorbable monofilament suture engineered for permanent, high-strength tissue approximation. In Size 1 (4.0 metric), this is one of the strongest synthetic monofilaments available, designed specifically to withstand the significant mechanical stress of the abdominal wall and large joint reconstructions.

Technical specifications

• Brand: Ethicon
• Reference / model: 8425H
• Model: / REF: 8425H
• Material: Monofilament Polypropylene
• Package quantity: 36

Additional product details

• PROLENE® is biologically inert, meaning it does not cause the inflammatory response often seen with natural fibers or braided synthetics.
• Manufacturer: Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson)
• Brand: PROLENE®
• Suture Size: 1 (4.0 metric) — Maximum Structural Strength
• Length: 30 Inches (75 cm)
• Color: Blue (For high-contrast visibility against vascularized tissue)
• Needle: 36mm CT-1 (1/2 Circle)
• Needle Point: Taper Point (Atraumatic)
• Quantity: Full Box of 36 Sterile Units
• Indefinite Tensile Strength: Unlike absorbable sutures that lose strength over weeks, PROLENE® Size 1 maintains its original structural integrity indefinitely. This is the "gold standard" for patients at risk for delayed wound healing or incisional hernias.
• CT-1 Needle Leverage: The 36mm CT-1 needle is a heavy-duty taper point designed to penetrate thick fascia without bending.
• Infection Resistance: As a non-porous monofilament, PROLENE® does not allow for bacterial "wicking" within the strand.
• Dynamic Tension Handling: Polypropylene has a unique "plastic" property that allows it to stretch slightly under edema and then return to its original state.
• Status: New – Factory Sealed.
• Integrity:
