PROLENE® Polypropylene Suture

PROLENE Sutures (clear or pigmented) are non-absorbable, sterile surgical sutures composed of an isotactic crystalline steroisomer of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin. The suture is pigment blue to enhance visibility. PROLENE Sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximating and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic procedures, and neurological procedures. PROLENE Sutures have been trusted by cardiovascular surgeons for over 40 years having been used in over 100 million people worldwide.

What should be considered when choosing between this non-absorbable suture and an absorbable one?

When choosing between non-absorbable sutures like Suture Prolene 3-0 and absorbable ones, consider the need for long-term tissue support versus natural absorption by the body, particularly in surgeries where tissue integration over time is desired [Manufacturer Info].

For a first-time user, what is the learning curve like when working with these sutures in neurosurgery?

First-time users may experience a learning curve with Suture Prolene 3-0 in neurosurgery due to the need for precise suture handling and placement in sensitive neurological tissues [Manufacturer Info].
