Engineered as a perfectly smooth extruded monofilament strand, Prolene virtually eliminates cellular tissue drag and dynamic friction during placement. Polypropylene is designed for surgical setups requiring permanent, high-tensile 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 specific clinical configuration features a heavy size 0 gauge thread diameter, dyed phthalocyanine blue to maximize operational tracking and crisp visualization against blood-filled cavities and thick tissue margins. The system delivers a continuous 30-inch (75 cm) monofilament strand and comes pre-swaged to an extra-large 48 mm CTX style taper point needle. This needle features a completely non-cutting round body geometry that separates fragile tissue fibers rather than slicing them, making the 8454H an exceptional selection for deep structural abdominal wall closures, heavy fascial adaptations, orthopedic reconstructions, and orthopedic or general surgical anchoring steps where deep needle penetration is indicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\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 8454H\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 0 Suture (Heavy USP 0 Gauge \/ Metric 3.5)\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 30 inches (Approximately 75 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 Single-Armed (Swaged to one surgical needle)\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 CTX Taper Point (Extra-large 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 48 mm massive 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\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,14,0\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ethicon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48593211228385,"sku":null,"price":689.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/0527\/8543\/files\/2026062520273820260625_142705.jpg?v=1782472775","url":"https:\/\/primismedical.com\/products\/ethicon-8454h-prolene-blue-monofilament-non-absorbable-suture-size-0-with-ctx-needle-box-of-36","provider":"Primis Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
