Prolene Sutures
Prolene is Johnson & Johnson's line of non-absorbable polypropylene monofilament sutures, trusted by surgeons for procedures where a suture needs to hold indefinitely without breaking down in tissue. Because polypropylene is inert and non-absorbable, Prolene retains its tensile strength over time and passes through tissue with minimal drag and reaction — qualities that make it a standard choice in cardiovascular, vascular, general, and plastic surgery, as well as skin closure.
The distinctive blue color improves visibility against tissue, and the monofilament structure resists harboring bacteria compared with braided materials, an advantage in contaminated or high-risk fields. Every Prolene suture in this collection is uncoated and swaged to a stainless steel needle for a smooth, single-pass insertion.
