Additional Information

Description

The PDS® II (polydioxanone) Absorbable Suture is a sterile, synthetic absorbable thread used in surgical procedures requiring extended wound support. Made from polydioxanone, a biocompatible polymer, it offers robust tensile strength and consistent absorption properties. This suture is specifically designed to maintain wound closure integrity over a prolonged period, typically absorbing over 180 days through hydrolysis.

With a diameter of 0 (3.0 metric) and a length of 30 inches (75 cm), the PDS® II 0 Violet 30 TP-1 is suitable for various surgical applications, including cardiovascular and abdominal surgeries where long-term suture retention is essential. The violet color provides enhanced visibility in the surgical field, aiding surgeons in precise placement and knot tying. Its monofilament structure ensures smooth tissue passage during suturing, minimising tissue trauma and optimizing healing outcomes.

The suture's biocompatibility reduces the risk of adverse tissue reactions, supporting natural wound healing processes. Packaged in a sterile environment, the PDS® II, 0 Violet 30 TP-1 meets rigorous quality standards, ensuring reliability and safety in clinical settings.

DISCLAIMER

The safety and effectiveness of PDS® II sutures have not been established in neural tissue, adult cardiovascular tissue, or for use in microsurgery. Under certain circumstances, notably orthopaedic procedures, immobilization by external support may be employed at the discretion of the surgeon. Do not resterilize. Discard open packages and unused sutures. Do not use after the expiration date. For complete product details, please see Instructions for Use.
