Ethicon Prolene 8-0 (0.4mm) blue surgical suture is a sterile, non-absorbable, monofilament suture made of isotactic crystalline stereoisomer polypropylene. The vibrant blue color enhances visibility within the wound.
Each suture is individually packaged in a sterile, peel-open, polymer-paper pouch ensuring sterility and preserving functionality throughout its shelf life, transportation, and storage. The packaging protects the suture from moisture and allows for quick, single-motion access to minimize procedure time.
The inner packaging clearly displays the suture's name, composition, manufacturer's trademark and name, matrix code, catalog number, size (metric and nominal), color, length, needle length, needle type, needle curvature (3/8 circle, 8mm), needle image, quantity of needles, sterility indication including sterilization method, and single-use instructions. A specialized winding technique ensures the suture is straight upon removal, minimizing "memory" effects. The needle is securely fixed to the inner tray without contacting the needle point, preventing dulling.
