Absorbable Suture with Needle PDS II Polydioxanone CP-2 1/2 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle Size 2-0 Monofilament

The PDS II suture provides extended wound support with a predictable strength retention profile:

• 2 weeks: 80% strength retention
• 4 weeks: 70% strength retention
• 6 weeks: 60% strength retention

Yes, it is designed for procedures requiring long-term support. The material provides a stable, predictable degradation profile, with complete mass absorption typically occurring within 183 to 238 days.

The monofilament construction offers two key advantages:

• Smooth Handling: It is engineered for a smooth passage through tissue.
• Minimal Trauma: It helps reduce tissue drag and ensures low tissue reactivity during the suturing process.

The CP-2 1/2 circle reverse cutting needle is specifically designed for efficient tissue penetration and precise, controlled placement during surgical procedures.

The suture is uncoated, which ensures a consistent and smooth feel during use. It is provided in a sterile, 36-strand packaging to maintain clinical integrity until the moment of use.

Yes, this is a synthetic polydioxanone suture. Synthetic materials are chosen for their predictable absorption rates and high tensile strength consistency compared to natural alternatives.

The suture is violet in color, which is standard for high-visibility medical sutures, allowing surgeons to clearly track the thread during complex closure procedures.

This suture is 27 inches long, providing a versatile length suitable for a wide range of standard surgical wound closure applications.

Yes, these are Factory New sutures sourced directly from J & J Healthcare Systems, ensuring the highest standards of quality and sterility.

The included CP-2 1/2 circle reverse cutting needle has a length of 26 mm, designed for optimal balance between reach and precision.
