Techsuture Polypropylene Non-Absorbable Suture – USP 5-0, 15 mm 3/8 Circle Black Regular, 22 in (55 cm), Box of 12

Techsuture Polypropylene is a synthetic non-absorbable monofilament suture designed for soft-tissue approximation where smooth passage, long-term stability, and minimal tissue drag are important. Its monofilament structure supports clean handling and low tissue adherence, while the blue color improves visibility during placement and knot tying. This configuration features a USP 5-0, 22 in (55 cm) strand paired with a 15 mm 3/8 circle Black Regular reverse-cutting needle. The finer 5-0 diameter supports more delicate closure and controlled handling in smaller treatment areas, while the polypropylene material maintains tension and does not undergo hydrolysis. Polypropylene USP 5-0 vs USP 6-0 – Choosing the Right Size Choose the suture size based on the level of delicacy, tissue support, and closure precision required. 5-0 – finer profile for delicate soft-tissue approximation with slightly more support than 6-0. 6-0 – smaller diameter for lighter closure and more refined handling in very delicate tissue.
