Description

Prolene Monofilament Suture, Blue, Size 1-0, 30", CT-1 Needle is a sterile, synthetic, nonabsorbable surgical suture composed of an isotactic crystalline stereoisomer of polypropylene. It is a monofilament structure that offers smooth passage through tissue, minimizing trauma during placement. 

The suture is supplied with a CT-1 needle, a taper point needle ideal for use in soft tissue where minimal cutting is desired. The needle is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring resistance to bending and breakage. The 30-inch length supports a wide range of procedures requiring deep or extensive soft tissue approximation.

Prolene is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures. Its nonabsorbable nature makes it suitable for long-term tissue support. The suture does not adhere to tissue, reducing the risk of tissue reactivity and allowing for easy suture removal, particularly in skin closure applications.
