1)Polypropylene can be made in a wide range of flexibility and thicknesses, giving the surgen a choice in the properties he wants.
2)It is also bio-compatible and hypoallergenic. The polymers of polypropylene are composed of simple hydrocarbon repeats that are not unlike the material found already in the body meaning the body's immune system will not attack it.
3) It does not leech harmful chemicals into the body when implanted, which is a problem for many plastics where if the polymer breaks down, it releases harmful materials (recent example of BPA in nalgene bottles)
4) It has a low co-efficent of friction and will disrupt the tissue as little as possible when it is pulled through to join the arteries
It is a material that emulates cotton

It is not recommended to use iron-on decals on polypropylene non-woven material as the heat from the iron can melt or distort the fabric. It is best to look for alternative adhesion methods suitable for polypropylene material, such as sewing or using fabric glue.
I will preface this with the fact that I am not a doctor or scientist, however polypropylene is commonly used as a material to make cutting boards (as well as many other products) and is considered to be non toxic, so it should be fine to eat off.

This depends on the material: polythene, polypropylene, teflon etc.
Polypropylene can be dyed using disperse dyes, but the process can be challenging due to the material's low absorbency and resistance to dye penetration. It is recommended to consult with a professional or conduct a small-scale test to determine if the desired dyeing results can be achieved on polypropylene.
The coefficient of friction between rubber and polypropylene can vary depending on factors such as surface roughness and material composition. However, in general, it is typically in the range of 0.4 to 0.6.
