Frequently asked questions
How long does this suture hold its strength?
PDS II is engineered for extended strength retention, which is crucial for longer healing phases. It maintains:
- 80% of its original strength at 2 weeks
- 70% at 4 weeks
- 60% at 6 weeks
Is this suture designed to minimize tissue trauma?
Yes. The suture features a precision reverse cutting needle designed for smooth passage through tissue. Its monofilament structure also ensures low tissue reactivity to help minimize patient discomfort and promote better healing outcomes.
What is the typical absorption timeline?
The PDS II suture is designed for long-term support with a gradual absorption profile. Complete mass absorption typically occurs between 183 and 238 days post-procedure.
What type of procedures is this suture best for?
This suture is ideal for general soft tissue approximation that requires an extended period of wound support and reliable long-term tensile strength.
Is the needle suitable for precise placement?
Absolutely. The PS-2 needle is a 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle made of stainless steel. It is specifically designed for sharpness, controlled placement, and minimal tissue drag.
Is the suture easy to see during surgery?
Yes, the suture is dyed violet, which provides enhanced visibility against tissue, allowing for greater precision and control during surgical application.
How many sutures come in a pack?
Each unit includes a 12-strand suture pack.
Is this product factory new?
Yes, all PDS II sutures provided are factory new and arrive in sterile packaging.
What is the needle material?
The PS-2 needle is constructed from high-quality stainless steel to maintain sharpness and rigidity during surgical use.
What is the length of the suture strand?
Each individual suture strand is 18 inches long.
