Frequently asked questions

Does this suture offer reliable long-term wound support?

Yes, PDS II is specifically engineered for extended wound support. It maintains significant tensile strength throughout the healing process:

  • 2 weeks: 80% strength retention
  • 4 weeks: 70% strength retention
  • 6 weeks: 60% strength retention
Is the material gentle on surrounding tissue?

Absolutely. The monofilament structure is designed to minimize tissue drag and trauma during insertion, resulting in significantly lower tissue reactivity compared to braided alternatives.

How long does it take for the suture to be fully absorbed?

This suture is designed for a predictable and controlled absorption profile. You can expect complete mass absorption within 183 to 238 days post-procedure.

Is the needle design optimized for soft tissue?

Yes, this suture features a 1/2 circle taper point needle, which is the gold standard for smooth, precise soft tissue approximation.

What is the total length of each suture strand?

Each strand is approximately 27 inches (70 cm) long, providing ample length for secure and convenient suturing during surgical applications.

Does the polydioxanone material have any special color markers?

Yes, these sutures are violet in color. This dyed synthetic material is highly visible, allowing surgeons to easily track the suture path during complex procedures.

Is this suture supplied in sterile packaging?

Yes, every PDS II suture is provided as a sterile product, ensuring it meets the highest standards for clinical and surgical safety.

How many sutures are included in each box?

Each box contains 36 strands of PDS II sutures, providing a reliable supply for your surgical suite requirements.

Are the needles made of durable stainless steel?

Yes, the needles are crafted from high-quality stainless steel to ensure sharpness, consistency, and structural integrity during the entire surgical procedure.

Is the suture coated to aid in passage?

These specific PDS II sutures are uncoated. The monofilament construction is engineered to be inherently smooth, allowing for seamless tissue passage without the need for additional coatings.
