Ethicon Prolene C811G Suture - Blue Monofilament Polypropylene, Nonabsorbable (Box of 12)

Ethicon | Prolene Polypropylene Suture | Non-Absorbable Synthetic Monofilament | Model C811G | Control Release Multi-Strand Taper Point CTX

The Ethicon C811G is a heavy-duty, sterile, synthetic non-absorbable surgical suture manufactured from an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene. Engineered as a perfectly smooth monofilament strand, Prolene virtually eliminates cellular tissue drag and dynamic friction during placement. Polypropylene is designed for setups 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.
