Frequently asked questions

Does this suture provide reliable long-term support?

Yes, PDS II is engineered for extended wound support. It maintains significant strength over time, retaining 80% of its initial strength at 2 weeks, 70% at 4 weeks, and 60% at 6 weeks.

Is the absorption process predictable?

Absolutely. The suture is designed for complete mass absorption occurring within a predictable window of 183 to 238 days, allowing for consistent healing support.

Does the monofilament design minimize tissue trauma?

Yes, the monofilament construction is specifically designed to allow for smooth passage through tissue. Because it is uncoated, it glides easily, helping to significantly minimize tissue reactivity and trauma.

Is the needle durable and precise?

The PS-1 needle is constructed from high-quality stainless steel. It features a 3/8 circle reverse cutting shape, which is optimized for precise handling and effective tissue penetration.

Is this suitable for procedures needing longer healing times?

Yes, this suture is specifically indicated for general wound closure applications where a long-term absorbable synthetic material is required for procedures with extended healing requirements.

Does the package contain enough units for clinical use?

Each unit is provided as a 12-strand box, offering a convenient supply for clinical settings such as surgical suites or professional nursing environments.

Is the suture material easy to identify?

The suture is clear (undyed) and comes in sterile medical-grade packaging. The labeling is structured and professional, ensuring that technical specifications like size (3-0) and needle type (PS-1) are quickly identifiable in a busy clinical setting.

What is the length of the suture strand?

Each strand in the box measures 18 inches in length, providing ample material for standard wound closure applications.

How should I handle the suture during surgery?

The suture is designed for professional clinical use. Its uncoated monofilament structure is engineered to move through tissue with minimal resistance, so it should be handled according to standard surgical protocols for synthetic absorbable materials.

Is this a sterile product?

Yes, all PDS II sutures are provided in sterile packaging to ensure they are ready for immediate use in professional surgical and clinical environments.
