Frequently asked questions
How long does this suture maintain its strength?
The PDS II suture is engineered for extended support. It retains 80% of its strength at 2 weeks, 70% at 4 weeks, and 60% at 6 weeks, providing consistent reinforcement throughout the critical healing process.
Is this suture suitable for delicate tissue?
Yes. As a monofilament suture, it is specifically designed to facilitate smooth passage through tissue, which helps minimize drag, trauma, and overall tissue reactivity during placement.
When can I expect the suture to be fully absorbed?
This suture is designed for long-term support with a reliable absorption profile, completing mass absorption within 183 to 238 days.
Why is the suture violet in color?
The suture is violet-dyed to ensure high visibility against human tissue, allowing for better precision and easier tracking during surgical procedures.
Is this a sterile product?
Yes, all PDS II Polydioxanone sutures are provided in a sterile format, ensuring they meet the necessary clinical standards for surgical wound closure.
Is the suture needle easy to identify?
The needle included is an RB-1 1/2 circle taper point stainless steel needle, which is precision-engineered for smooth penetration and is clearly labeled on the packaging for quick surgical preparation.
Does the suture come with a coating?
No, this specific PDS II configuration is uncoated, which is standard for its intended use in applications requiring minimal reactivity and smooth tissue passage.
How many strands are included in the package?
Each unit is supplied as a 36-strand pack, with one precision-engineered needle attached per suture strand.
What is the primary material of this suture?
This is a synthetic, monofilament Polydioxanone suture, known for its predictable degradation and reliable strength retention.
What is the needle length for the RB-1?
The RB-1 needle included with this 4-0 size suture has a length of 17 mm and features a 1/2 circle shape for optimized handling.
