The Ethicon D7889 4‑0 Prolene suture is a sterile, non‑absorbable monofilament made from high‑strength polypropylene. Sized 4‑0 and dyed blue, it provides excellent visibility for precise placement. Each suture is 54″ (approximately 1.37 m) long and comes double‑armed, meaning it has a needle at both ends, allowing efficient use for continuous closures—typically supplied in boxes of 36 units. Each suture is attached to an SH‑1 taper point needle, a ½‑circle, 22 mm needle with a smooth, atraumatic tip ideal for passing through soft tissues without cutting. The taper geometry minimizes tissue trauma, making it suitable for delicate closures such as vascular anastomoses, cardiac or neurological surgeries, and general soft‑tissue approximation. Prolene is renowned for its long-standing track record in cardiovascular and microsurgical procedures, with over four decades of trusted use. Its monofilament structure resists bacterial adherence and has low tissue drag, reducing infection risk and enhancing wound healing. These sutures are latex‑free, unidirectional, and made for single‑use only—combining visibility, strength, and surgical precision in high‑demand clinical environments.
