Frequently asked questions
How long does this suture maintain its strength?
The PDS II suture provides reliable, extended support during the healing process:
- 2 weeks: 80% strength retention
- 4 weeks: 70% strength retention
- 6 weeks: 60% strength retention
Is this suture safe for minimizing tissue trauma?
Yes. Its monofilament construction ensures a smooth, low-friction passage through tissue, which helps reduce reactivity and trauma during surgical procedures.
When does the body fully absorb this material?
The PDS II Polydioxanone suture is engineered for a predictable absorption profile, with complete mass absorption occurring between 183 and 238 days post-procedure.
Does this needle type help with tissue penetration?
Yes, this product features a taper point needle, which is specifically designed to provide smooth tissue penetration while minimizing puncture trauma.
Is the violet color helpful during surgery?
Absolutely. The material is dyed violet to provide excellent contrast and high visibility against biological tissues, helping surgeons maintain accuracy during procedures.
What is the primary material used for this suture?
This is a synthetic Polydioxanone monofilament suture, chosen for its consistency and reliable performance in soft tissue approximation.
How many strands are included in the box?
Each box contains 36 sterile strands, with each strand equipped with a single 1/2 circle taper point needle.
Are these sutures ready for immediate use?
Yes, they are factory new and sterile, intended for immediate use in professional clinical environments for general soft tissue approximation.
Is this suture suitable for general soft tissue?
Yes, it is designed specifically for general soft tissue approximation, offering a balance of extended strength and predictable healing.
What is the length of the included needle?
