Additional product details

• Manufacturer: Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson)
• Brand: PROLENE®
• Suture Size: 4-0 (1.5 metric) — Precision Fine Diameter
• Length: 18 Inches (45 cm)
• Color: Blue (Pigmented for high-contrast visibility)
• Needle: 24mm FS-1 (3/8 Circle)
• Needle Point: Reverse Cutting (Precision-honed for dense tissue)
• Quantity: Full Box of 36 Sterile Units
• Ultimate Biological Inertness: PROLENE® is a synthetic linear polyolefin that elicits minimal tissue reaction.
• FS-1 Needle Leverage: The 24mm FS-1 is a robust needle that provides excellent leverage for closing thicker dermis or fascia. The 3/8 circle curvature allows for easy "rolling" of the needle through the tissue in relatively shallow planes.
• This geometry is essential for maintaining the integrity of the tissue bridge between the stitch and the wound edge.
• "Frictionless" Monofilament Glide: The extremely smooth surface of the polypropylene allows the 8629H to pass through tissue with minimal drag. This reduces post-operative inflammation and allows for a "painless" experience for the patient during suture removal.
• Indefinite Strength Retention: Unlike absorbable sutures, PROLENE® maintains its original tensile strength indefinitely. It provides permanent support, which is critical for patients with compromised healing or for areas subject to constant mechanical stress.
• Status: New – Factory Sealed.
