Clinical questions
Answered.
Still unsure? A real specialist replies within one business day — ask us anything.
How does this 5-0 Polypropylene suture perform?
It is a non-absorbable monofilament: permanent support, very low tissue reactivity and dependable knot security — the go-to for skin, vascular and tension-bearing closures.
Is it comparable to what I use now?
Spec-for-spec it matches Prolene and Surgipro on material, tensile retention and needle geometry — most clinicians switch without changing a thing about their technique. Want proof first? We’ll send a free sample to test against your current suture.
What needle does it come with?
It’s swaged — no threading — with a P-3 needle, matched to this material and gauge. The monofilament construction keeps drag and memory low through the pass.
Is it sterile, and how long is the shelf life?
Yes — sealed sterile, single-use and lot-traceable, with a 4–5 year shelf life from purchase. We never ship short-dated stock.
How fast does it ship, and is there bulk pricing?
In-stock boxes ship the same business day from Vancouver, BC — most Canadian orders arrive in 2–4 business days, and orders over $1,250 ($850 USD) ship free. Mix sizes and needles across a case and volume tiers apply automatically.

Switched our whole clinic over from a name brand. Identical handling, knots beautifully, and the savings are real at volume.

Low memory, easy to throw, and they actually ship when they say they will. Reorder takes ten seconds now.
