Ethicon PROLENE 8636G 6-0 PC-3 16mm Polypropylene 18", BX/12

The Ethicon 8636G (PROLENE®) is a high-precision, non-absorbable monofilament suture engineered for the most delicate cosmetic and reconstructive closures. This Size 6-0 (0.7 metric) polypropylene suture is the clinical standard for facial plastic surgery, eyelid repair, and pediatric micro-procedures. Its ultra-smooth monofilament construction ensures that the suture glides through tissue with zero resistance, virtually eliminating the risk of "track marks" or secondary tissue trauma.

• Ultimate Biological Inertness: PROLENE® is one of the most non-reactive synthetic materials available. In Size 6-0, it creates a minimal inflammatory footprint, which is essential for preventing hypertrophic scarring and promoting superior cosmetic outcomes.
• PC-3 Needle Sharpness: The PC-3 needle is specifically designed for delicate plastic surgery.
• "Easy-Slide" Removal: Because polypropylene is a non-porous monofilament, tissue does not adhere to the strand.
