Description

Taper Point PDS II Absorbable Suture, 1/2 Circle, 40 mm, Violet, 1" x 36", CT, is a synthetic monofilament suture composed of polydioxanone. This suture features a 1/2 circle taper point needle made of stainless steel, designed to facilitate smooth passage through soft tissues with minimal trauma. 

The PDS II suture retains significant tensile strength over an extended period, maintaining approximately 80% of its strength at two weeks, 70% at four weeks, and 60% at six weeks post-implantation. This prolonged strength retention supports wound healing in tissues requiring long-term support, such as fascia and tendon repairs. 

This suture exhibits low tissue reactivity, minimizing inflammatory response and promoting favorable healing conditions. Its smooth monofilament structure reduces tissue drag during suturing, enhancing surgeon control and patient comfort. The violet coloration increases visibility within surgical sites, aiding in precise suture placement.
