Frequently asked questions

How long does this suture hold its strength?

The PDS II suture is engineered for extended wound support. It retains 80% of its initial tensile strength at 2 weeks, 70% at 4 weeks, and 60% at 6 weeks, making it ideal for procedures requiring prolonged healing time.

Is this suture designed for complete absorption?

Yes, this is a synthetic absorbable suture. It is designed for complete mass absorption within 183 to 238 days, which eliminates the clinical need for subsequent suture removal.

Does the monofilament construction reduce tissue trauma?

Yes, the monofilament design ensures a smooth, seamless passage through tissue. This feature is specifically intended to minimize tissue reactivity and reduce trauma during the suturing process.

What type of needle is included with this suture?

This product comes with an SH-1 1/2 circle taper point needle. It is made of stainless steel and measures 22 mm, providing a standard, reliable instrument for precise tissue penetration.

Is this suture safe for deep tissue use?

Yes, it is designed for professional surgical environments and is suitable for various medical specialties that require a durable, long-lasting absorbable synthetic suture for secure wound closure.

Is the suture material coated?

No, this specific PDS II suture is uncoated. The monofilament synthetic material is designed to provide smooth tissue handling without the need for additional coatings.

What is the total length of each strand?

Each individual suture strand is 27 inches (approximately 70 cm) long, offering sufficient length for a wide range of surgical wound closure applications.

How many strands are in a full box?

Each box contains 36 sterile strands, with one needle attached to each strand.

Is the suture color visible during surgery?

Yes, the suture is dyed violet, which is a standard color choice to provide high visibility against tissue during the surgical procedure.

Is this product factory new?

Yes, all our PDS II Polydioxanone sutures are factory new and arrive in professional-grade, sterile packaging.
