Frequently asked questions

How long does this suture hold its strength?

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
Is this suture suitable for slow-healing tissue?

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.

Why is a monofilament suture preferred here?

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.
What are the benefits of the reverse cutting needle?

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

Does this suture require any special handling?

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.

Is the polydioxanone material synthetic?

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.

How visible is the suture during surgery?

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.

Is this a standard length for surgical sutures?

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

Are these factory new products?

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

What is the needle length for the CP-2 configuration?

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