Frequently asked questions

How long does this suture maintain its strength?

The PDS II suture is engineered for extended support, maintaining 80% of its strength at 2 weeks, 70% at 4 weeks, and 60% at 6 weeks to ensure stability during critical healing phases.

Is the material suitable for minimizing tissue trauma?

Yes. The monofilament construction is specifically designed to provide smooth passage through tissue, which significantly minimizes drag and reduces trauma at the surgical site.

How long does it take for the suture to absorb?

This suture is designed for a predictable and controlled absorption profile, with complete mass absorption expected within 183 to 238 days, eliminating the need for post-surgical removal.

Is this product suitable for extended wound support?

Absolutely. It is specifically intended for surgical applications that require long-term wound support due to its high tensile strength retention profile.

Are these sutures provided in a sterile condition?

Yes, all PDS II sutures are provided in sterile packaging, ensuring they meet the necessary standards for immediate surgical use.

Does this package come with multiple needles?

Each box contains 12 strands, and each individual strand is paired with one 65 mm stainless steel taper point needle.

What type of needle is included with this suture?

It includes a 65 mm taper point needle in a 1/2 circle shape, configured to facilitate precise and efficient placement during surgical procedures.

Is this suture coated or uncoated?

This specific PDS II suture is uncoated to ensure the consistent performance and handling characteristics expected of this synthetic monofilament.

What is the total length of each suture strand?

Each individual suture strand is 96 inches in length.

What color is the suture material?

The suture material is violet, which provides high visibility during surgical procedures for easier identification.
