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.
