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 dyed blue to enhance visibility and does not adhere to tissue, making it efficacious to pull out when ready. PROLENE™ Sutures are relatively biologically inert, offering proven strength, reliability, and versatility.1,2

A suture needle leaves a hole larger than the suture, creating bleeding risk due to the gap. PROLENE™ Polypropylene Suture with HEMO-SEAL™ Technology is engineered with a 1-to-1 needle-to-suture ratio, effectively sealing the puncture site. This innovative approach is designed to reduce suture line bleeding and enhance surgical field visualization.1
