PROLENE® Sutures Guide

Learn about PROLENE® sutures, including material composition, handling characteristics, common applications and long-term wound support properties.

Material Type

  • Polypropylene
  • Monofilament
  • Synthetic
  • Non-Absorbable

Common Uses

  • Vascular surgery
  • Hernia repair
  • Cardiovascular surgery
  • Skin closure
  • Plastic surgery

Key Benefits

  • Minimal tissue reaction
  • Excellent tensile strength
  • Smooth tissue passage
  • Long-term wound support

What Are PROLENE® Sutures?

PROLENE® is a synthetic non-absorbable monofilament suture manufactured from polypropylene. It is widely used in procedures where long-term wound support is required and is particularly popular in vascular, cardiovascular, plastic and general surgery.

The monofilament structure provides smooth tissue passage with low tissue drag and minimal tissue reactivity. Because PROLENE® is non-absorbable, it retains strength over time and is commonly selected where permanent wound support may be beneficial.

Common Procedures

  • Hernia repair
  • Vascular surgery
  • Cardiovascular surgery
  • Facelift surgery
  • Blepharoplasty
  • Skin closure

Advantages of PROLENE®

  • Minimal tissue reaction
  • Excellent long-term strength
  • Smooth monofilament construction
  • Reliable knot security
  • Widely used across surgical specialties

PROLENE® Alternatives

Depending on the procedure, clinicians may consider ETHILON® for skin closure, PDS II® for extended absorbable wound support or MONOCRYL® for absorbable cosmetic closure. The most suitable alternative will depend on the required wound support and absorption characteristics.
