Frequently asked questions
Does this suture provide reliable long-term support?
Yes, PDS II is engineered for extended strength retention. It maintains 80% strength at 2 weeks, 70% at 4 weeks, and 60% at 6 weeks, providing consistent support through the critical stages of the healing process.
Is the material easy to pass through tissue?
The suture features a monofilament design, which significantly reduces friction. This construction allows for smoother passage through delicate tissues, helping to minimize trauma during placement.
Is the absorption timeline predictable?
Absolutely. This suture is specifically engineered for a predictable absorption profile, with complete mass absorption expected to occur within a window of 183 to 238 days.
Is the needle design optimized for precision?
The included CT-2 taper point needle is crafted from high-quality stainless steel in a 1/2 circle shape. It measures 26 mm, making it an excellent choice for surgeons requiring precise maneuverability and smooth tissue penetration.
Will this suture be easy to see during surgery?
Yes, the suture is dyed violet, which provides high visibility against tissue, ensuring that surgeons can easily track the suture placement throughout the procedure.
Is the suture coated to reduce friction?
The PDS II suture is uncoated. Its superior handling and smooth tissue passage are achieved through its high-quality monofilament construction rather than surface coatings.
What is the total length of each strand?
Each suture strand in this pack measures 27 inches (approximately 70 cm), providing ample length for a variety of surgical closure techniques.
Is this product suitable for procedures requiring low reactivity?
Yes, the synthetic monofilament structure is designed for low tissue reactivity, which promotes better healing outcomes by minimizing the inflammatory response.
What is included in a standard pack?
Each order contains a 36-strand pack. Each individual strand comes pre-attached with one high-quality CT-2 stainless steel needle, ready for immediate clinical use.
Is this a sterile, factory-new product?
Yes, all units are factory new and arrive in sterile packaging. The product is housed in a professional, industry-standard foil pouch designed to maintain strict sterility until the moment of use.
