Absorbable Suture with Needle PDS II Polydioxanone CT-1 1/2 Circle Taper Point Needle Size 3-0 Monofilament

Yes, the PDS II suture is engineered for extended strength retention. It maintains significant tensile support throughout the critical healing phases: 80% strength at 2 weeks, 70% at 4 weeks, and 60% at 6 weeks post-application.

Absolutely. Being a monofilament suture, it features a smooth structure that minimizes drag and reduces trauma to the surrounding area as it is pulled through the tissue.

The PDS II offers a controlled and predictable absorption profile. Complete mass absorption typically occurs within a window of 183 to 238 days, allowing for stable wound healing.

Yes, the needle is crafted from high-quality stainless steel. The CT-1 taper point design, shaped in a 1/2 circle, is engineered for precise placement and consistent performance during surgical procedures.

Yes, the synthetic polydioxanone material is specifically selected for its low tissue reactivity, which contributes to improved patient outcomes by minimizing inflammatory responses.

The suture is dyed violet, which provides excellent visibility against various tissue types, helping surgeons maintain accuracy during complex closures.

Each sterile suture strand is 27 inches (70 cm) long, providing sufficient length for a wide range of surgical wound closure techniques.

Yes, every strand is provided as a sterile, factory-new product. The packaging is a professional-grade metallic foil packet designed to maintain absolute sterility until the moment of use.

Each box contains 36 individual strands, each equipped with its own attached stainless steel needle for clinical convenience.

This version is uncoated, which is a deliberate design choice. By avoiding a coating, the suture maintains a very clean, smooth monofilament profile that is ideal for reducing trauma in delicate surgical sites.
