Frequently asked questions

Does this suture offer long-term wound support?

Yes, the PDS II is engineered for extended tensile strength. It is specifically formulated to provide consistent support during critical healing phases by maintaining: - 80% strength at 2 weeks. - 70% strength at 4 weeks. - 60% strength at 6 weeks.

Is the absorption profile predictable?

Absolutely. This suture is designed for a reliable and controlled absorption process. It typically achieves complete mass absorption within 183 to 238 days, which helps minimize the need for manual removal.

Does the monofilament design reduce tissue trauma?

Yes, the monofilament structure is highly beneficial. It allows for smooth passage through tissue and is specifically engineered for low tissue reactivity, helping to ensure minimal trauma during surgical procedures.

Is the needle effective for fibrous tissue?

The product features a high-quality stainless steel CP-1 reverse cutting needle. Its 1/2 circle shape and 36 mm length are specifically chosen to facilitate superior handling and effective, secure wound approximation in fibrous tissues.

Is the suture highly visible during surgery?

Yes, the suture material is violet-dyed synthetic polydioxanone. This distinct color is intended to ensure high visibility and easy identification for surgeons during procedures.

What is the total length of each suture strand?

Each individual suture strand in the box is 27 inches in length, providing ample material for precise and controlled wound closure.

Are these sutures sterile upon arrival?

Yes, all 36 strands are provided in sterile packaging, ensuring they meet the high-grade clinical safety standards required for professional surgical use.

Is the suture coating specialized?

The PDS II suture is uncoated. The monofilament nature of the material itself is optimized for smooth passage through tissue, removing the need for external coatings.

How many sutures come in a single box?

Each unit includes a box containing 36 strands of the PDS II Polydioxanone suture, making it a reliable choice for clinical supply management.

Is this a high-performance material?

Yes, the PDS II (Model Z466H) is a professional-grade, synthetic wound closure device. It is manufactured by J & J Healthcare Systems to meet the rigorous demands of clinical environments where long-term tissue support is required.
