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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMatching needle geometry to the procedure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe right Prolene product depends far more on the needle than the thread.
