Absorbable Suture with Needle PDS II Polydioxanone CP-1 1/2 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle Size 1 Monofilament

The PDS II suture is engineered for extended strength retention to support the healing process effectively:

• 2 weeks: Maintains 80% of its strength.
• 4 weeks: Maintains 70% of its strength.
• 6 weeks: Maintains 60% of its strength.

This suture is designed for predictable, long-term absorption, with complete mass absorption typically occurring between 183 and 238 days post-procedure.

The monofilament construction offers two key benefits:

• Minimal Trauma: It facilitates a smooth glide through tissue, which reduces drag.
• Low Reactivity: The design minimizes the inflammatory response in the patient compared to braided alternatives.

The product is provided in sterile, medical-grade foil packaging. It is intended for single-use only; you must ensure it remains in its original sterile seal until the point of use. Do not attempt to resterilize the product.

It is ideal for surgical and nursing environments that require long-term absorbable closure materials. It is particularly well-suited for procedures where extended support of the wound edge is necessary to ensure proper healing.

No, this product is not compliant with the Trade Agreement Act (TAA) or the Buy American Act (BAA).

Yes, the suture material is violet-dyed, which provides high visibility against biological tissues, helping surgeons maintain accuracy during procedures.

Each suture comes with a high-quality CP-1, 1/2 circle reverse cutting needle. Measuring 36 mm, this stainless steel needle is specifically designed for applications that require robust penetration capabilities.

This product is supplied as a 36-strand pack, providing a reliable stock for clinical environments requiring high-strength closure materials.

No, this specific PDS II suture is uncoated. The monofilament structure itself is designed to glide smoothly through tissue without the need for an added coating.
