Engineered as a perfectly smooth monofilament strand, Prolene virtually eliminates cellular tissue drag and dynamic friction during placement. Polypropylene is designed for surgical configurations requiring permanent 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThis specialized clinical configuration features a versatile size 3-0 gauge thread diameter, dyed phthalocyanine blue to maximize operational tracking and crisp visualization against blood-filled cavities and tissue margins. The system delivers an extended single continuous 54-inch (135 cm) monofilament strand and is configured as a double-armed system. It is swaged on both ends to standard 26 mm SH style taper point needles. This round-bodied, non-cutting needle geometry separates fragile tissue fibers rather than slicing them, making the D5526 an exceptional selection for structural cardiovascular adaptations, deep soft tissue approximations, and continuous running closures where a long strand with double needles is indicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/b\u003e Ethicon (Johnson and Johnson Medical Division)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProduct Brand Family:\u003c\/b\u003e PROLENE Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Suture Portfolio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProduct Catalog Code (MPN):\u003c\/b\u003e D5526\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSuture Material Composition:\u003c\/b\u003e Isotactic Crystalline Polypropylene\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStrand Structural Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e Monofilament (Smooth extrusion profile, zero braiding capillary risks)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThread Sizing Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Size 3-0 Suture (Mid-range USP 3-0 Gauge \/ Metric 2.0)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSuture Length Dimension:\u003c\/b\u003e 54 inches (Extended 135 cm single continuous strand layout)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,7,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,7,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eColor Pigment Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Phthalocyanine Blue (Dyed for maximum contrast against red tissue beds and active bleeding)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,8,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,8,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNeedle Configuration:\u003c\/b\u003e Double-Armed (Swaged to identical surgical needles on both ends of the strand)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,9,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,9,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNeedle Type Classification:\u003c\/b\u003e SH Taper Point (Round body profile, completely non-cutting geometry)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,10,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,10,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNeedle Curvature Geometry:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\/2 Circle curvature tracking radius\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,11,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,11,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNeedle Length Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e 26 mm structural length\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,12,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,12,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePackaging Matrix Configuration:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard box containing 36 sterile individual suture packets (H-box distribution unit)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,13,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6,13,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAbsorption Profile Cycle:\u003c\/b\u003e Strictly Non-Absorbable (Provides permanent structural tissue encapsulation with zero degradation over time)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ethicon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48409599934689,"sku":"ETHID5526","price":497.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/0527\/8543\/files\/D5526.png?v=1780954303","url":"https:\/\/primismedical.com\/en-cn\/products\/ethicon-prolene-d5526-suture-size-3-0-54-blue-monofilament-polypropylene-sh-needle-box-of-36","provider":"Primis Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
