Frequently asked questions
Does this suture provide reliable long-term strength?
Yes, PDS II is engineered for extended wound support. It maintains 80% strength at 2 weeks, 70% at 4 weeks, and 60% at 6 weeks post-procedure, making it an excellent choice for applications requiring prolonged tissue approximation.
Is the needle design optimized for smooth tissue passage?
Absolutely. It features a precision reverse cutting needle specifically designed to glide through dense tissue with minimal trauma, ensuring exceptional control during surgical procedures.
How long does the material take to fully absorb?
The polydioxanone material features a reliable absorption profile, ensuring complete mass absorption in approximately 183 to 238 days, which eliminates the need for post-surgical suture removal.
Does the monofilament structure reduce tissue irritation?
Yes. Because it is a monofilament structure, the surface is exceptionally smooth. This results in low tissue reactivity, which helps maintain comfort and minimizes potential irritation at the site of application.
Is this suture suitable for pediatric or ophthalmic use?
Yes, this suture is ideal for general soft tissue approximation, including pediatric cardiovascular and ophthalmic surgery, where an absorbable material with reliable, long-term tensile strength is required.
Is the material visible after application?
This specific variant uses clear, undyed synthetic material. It is specifically designed for surgical applications where visibility of the suture material must be minimized for a cleaner clinical outcome.
How are the needles and sutures stored for sterility?
Each unit is provided in a sterile, sealed individual foil pouch. Inside, the needle is housed within a protective, high-quality white plastic cartridge to ensure safety and integrity until the moment of deployment.
What is the specific diameter and curvature of the needle?
The included needle is a 19 mm, 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle. This size and shape are chosen to balance maneuverability with optimal tissue penetration.
Are multiple strands provided in one order?
Yes, each package configuration includes 12 strands, with each strand individually equipped with its own precision needle for clinical efficiency.
Can these sutures be resterilized for later use?
No. These are strictly for single-patient use. You should never reuse or attempt to resterilize the product to ensure that high clinical and safety standards are maintained.
