Absorbable Suture with Needle PDS II Polydioxanone SH-1 1/2 Circle Taper Point Needle Size 4-0 Monofilament

Yes, the PDS II Polydioxanone suture is engineered with a predictable absorption profile designed for long-term support: <ul><li>2 weeks: 80% strength retention</li><li>4 weeks: 70% strength retention</li><li>6 weeks: 60% strength retention</li></ul> Complete mass absorption typically occurs between 183 and 238 days.

Absolutely. Because the PDS II features an uncoated monofilament construction, it is specifically engineered to ensure a smooth, non-traumatic passage through delicate tissues, significantly reducing tissue reactivity during and after the procedure.

The SH-1 needle is crafted from high-grade stainless steel, providing excellent sharpness, rigidity, and reliability. This 22 mm, 1/2 circle taper point needle is designed for precise penetration and consistent performance throughout surgical tasks.

Yes, the monofilament nature of this suture is a key advantage. By eliminating the braided structure found in other materials, it creates a surface that slides through tissue with minimal resistance, which helps to protect tissue integrity.

Yes, it is an ideal choice for general soft tissue approximation where a synthetic, absorbable monofilament is indicated. Its design provides the necessary support for wounds requiring prolonged holding time.

Each box contains 36 strands of PDS II sutures. Each individual strand comes pre-attached to a single SH-1 taper point needle, ensuring you are well-supplied for multiple clinical applications.

Yes, the suture material is a violet-dyed synthetic polydioxanone. This color is chosen to provide high contrast against tissue, allowing surgeons to maintain excellent visibility during the suturing process.

Each individual suture strand is 27 inches (approximately 70 cm) long, providing ample length for a wide variety of standard surgical closure techniques.

No. These are single-use sterile medical devices. They must not be resterilized or reused; they are supplied in sterile packaging ready for immediate, professional clinical use.

Yes, this is a Factory New, professional-grade surgical tool manufactured by J & J Healthcare Systems. It meets stringent medical standards for performance, sterility, and material quality.
