Surgipro II Polypropylene Sutures

Surgipro II is Cardinal Health's monofilament polypropylene suture line, engineered for procedures where long-term wound support and minimal tissue reactivity matter. As a non-absorbable material, polypropylene holds its tensile strength indefinitely, making Surgipro II a dependable choice for cardiovascular, general, plastic, and orthopedic closures where the suture is meant to remain in place or be removed later.

Surgeons choose polypropylene monofilament for reasons that are practical at the table: the smooth single-strand construction passes through tissue with low drag, resists bacterial adherence better than braided materials, and creates minimal inflammatory response. The trade-off buyers should understand is memory — polypropylene tends to retain its coil, so secure knot placement matters. The uncoated Surgipro II is designed to balance handling with reliable knot security.

Our current stock includes the Cardinal Health Surgipro II Non-Absorbable Suture (SP-5687G): a size-appropriate monofilament on an 18-inch strand, armed with a single 19 mm, 3/8-circle precision reverse cutting needle. The reverse cutting geometry places the cutting edge on the outer curve, resisting tissue cut-through in skin and other tough tissues — a common reason clinicians reach for this configuration in closures under tension. The blue coloration aids visibility against tissue and during removal.

When ordering, confirm the suture gauge, needle type, and circle size against your surgeon's preference card, since polypropylene sutures are offered across a wide range of specifications and needle profiles.
