Frequently asked questions

How long does this suture maintain its strength?

The PDS II suture is engineered for extended support, offering reliable strength retention throughout the critical healing phases:

  • 2 weeks: 80% strength retention
  • 4 weeks: 70% strength retention
  • 6 weeks: 60% strength retention
Is this suture safe for sensitive tissue?

Yes. The monofilament structure is designed to minimize tissue drag and is characterized by low tissue reactivity, which helps reduce patient discomfort during and after the procedure.

How long does it take for the suture to absorb?

The PDS II Polydioxanone suture is designed for complete mass absorption within 183 to 238 days, providing a predictable breakdown profile for patient recovery.

Does the monofilament design impact ease of use?

Absolutely. The monofilament construction allows the suture to pass through tissue with minimal drag, ensuring smoother, more precise placement compared to braided alternatives.

Is the suture coated?

No, this specific model is uncoated. The monofilament design provides sufficient smoothness for effective tissue passage without the need for additional coatings.

What is the primary material of these sutures?

These are Polydioxanone (PDS II) sutures, which are a synthetic, dyed, absorbable material known for long-term wound support.
