Frequently asked questions
How long does this suture hold its strength?
The PDS II suture provides reliable, extended support during the healing process. It retains:
- 80% of initial tensile strength at two weeks
- 70% at four weeks
- 60% at six weeks
How long until this suture is fully absorbed?
This suture is engineered for predictable, complete mass absorption within approximately 183 to 238 days.
Is this suture monofilament or braided?
It is a monofilament suture. This structure, combined with its uncoated surface, is specifically designed to ensure smooth passage through tissue and minimal tissue drag.
What type of tissue is this needle best for?
The 1/2 circle taper point needle is designed for precise tissue penetration. It is commonly used in general surgery and urological procedures where controlled, smooth insertion is required.
Is the material of this suture reactive?
No, the PDS II is a synthetic material designed to have low reactivity within the body, making it a reliable choice for extended wound closure support.
Is this product suitable for general surgery?
Yes, this suture is specifically designed for surgical settings, including general surgery and urological applications where long-term, absorbable support is necessary.
How many sutures are in a single box?
Each unit is a pack containing 36 strands with integrated needles.
Is this suture coated?
No, this is an uncoated monofilament suture. The absence of a coating is a specific design choice to help reduce tissue drag during application.
What is the needle length?
The taper point needle included with this suture is 17 mm in length.
Is this suture dyed or undyed?
The PDS II suture material is dyed to ensure clear visibility during surgical procedures.
