Frequently asked questions
How long does this suture hold its strength?
The PDS II suture is engineered for extended support, retaining 80% of its strength at 2 weeks, 70% at 4 weeks, and 60% at 6 weeks post-procedure.
Is the material easy on the tissue?
Yes. Its monofilament construction ensures exceptionally smooth passage through tissues, which helps minimize tissue reactivity and trauma during surgical procedures.
How long until the suture is fully absorbed?
This suture offers a predictable absorption profile, with complete mass absorption typically occurring within a timeframe of 183 to 238 days.
Is this suitable for long-term wound support?
Absolutely. Because it is made of polydioxanone, it provides the high tensile strength needed for procedures requiring extended structural support during the healing process.
Are these sutures sterile and ready for surgery?
Yes, these are factory new, sterile sutures designed for professional clinical use in surgical and nursing environments.
What type of needle is included?
Each strand comes with a high-grade stainless steel CT-2 taper point needle with a 1/2 circle curvature, designed specifically for precision in delicate surgical applications.
Is the suture coated or uncoated?
The PDS II Polydioxanone suture is uncoated, utilizing its smooth monofilament surface to facilitate easy entry and reduce friction during closure.
What is the total length of each strand?
Each suture strand in this pack is 27 inches in length.
How many strands are included in a pack?
Each unit contains a 36-strand pack, with one needle pre-attached to every strand.
What does the 'Size 0' indicate?
The Size 0 designation refers to the gauge of the suture. It is a standard diameter intended for robust closure applications requiring significant strength.
