Frequently asked questions
Does this suture offer consistent strength during healing?
Yes, the PDS II suture is engineered for a predictable absorption profile. It maintains reliable wound support throughout the healing process:
- 80% strength retention at 2 weeks
- 70% strength retention at 4 weeks
- 60% strength retention at 6 weeks
Is the material designed to minimize tissue trauma?
Absolutely. The suture features an uncoated monofilament construction, which allows for smooth passage through delicate tissue and significantly minimizes friction and potential tissue reactivity.
How long does complete absorption take?
This suture is specifically designed for applications requiring extended support. It is engineered for complete mass absorption within a window of 183 to 238 days.
What type of needle is included?
It comes with a high-grade stainless steel FS-1 reverse cutting needle. This precision-engineered needle is a 3/8 circle and measures 24 mm in length, designed for smooth tissue penetration.
Is the material synthetic?
Yes, the PDS II suture is a synthetic, undyed (clear) polydioxanone suture, ensuring consistent quality and performance for surgical wound closure.
What is the length of the suture strand?
Each suture strand is 27 inches (approximately 68.58 cm) long, providing sufficient length for a wide variety of surgical applications.
Is the product delivered in sterile condition?
Yes, all PDS II sutures are provided in sterile-sealed clinical packaging to ensure they meet the strict requirements of a surgical environment.
Is the suture size appropriate for precise closures?
The 3-0 suture size is a standard choice for surgical applications requiring a balance between tensile strength and fine-tissue manipulation.
Does the needle design help with precise entry?
The 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle geometry is specifically selected to provide a balance of control and ease of entry, making it highly effective for precise surgical wound closure.
How should this be identified in a clinical setting?
The packaging is designed for maximum clarity and identification. All critical specifications—including suture size, material type, needle code, and curvature—are printed in high-contrast text on the packaging for quick, accurate selection in busy clinical environments.
