The hole created by a needle is larger than the suture, leaving a gap that creates a bleeding risk. Traditional suture does not fill this hole. PROLENE Suture with HEMO-SEAL Technology has a 1-to-1 needle-to-suture ratio, completely filling the hole created by the needle.1 It is designed to reduce suture line bleeding and improve visualization in the surgical field.

About this Device

PROLENE Polypropylene Suture with HEMO-SEAL Technology is a monofilament, synthetic, non-absorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene, a synthetic linear polyolefin. It is available dyed blue with phthalocyanine blue. With the HEMO-SEAL needle suture combination, the diameter of the suture and the needle wire have been more closely aligned to reduce the degree of needle hole bleeding.

Features & Benefits

Less Needle Hole Bleeding

Tapered suture. 1-to-1 needle-to-suture ratio. HEMO-SEAL Technology narrows the PROLENE suture at the needle attachment site, which results in the remainder of the suture having a reduced needle-to-suture ratio. This enhanced ratio allows the bulk of the suture to adequately fill the needle hole, leading to a significant reduction in needle hole bleeding.1

Reliability of PROLENE™

HEMO-SEAL™ Technology uses the same PROLENE™ suture you trust, but offers reduced needle hole leakage. PROLENE Sutures are nonabsorbable, sterile surgical sutures available undyed or pigmented blue to enhance visibility. PROLENE Sutures are relatively biologically inert, offering proven strength, reliability, and versatility.2
