PDS II Absorbable Suture with Needle is a premium wound closure device designed to meet the demands of precision and reliability in surgical settings. This suture, paired with an uncoated CTX 48 mm needle, comes dyed in violet for increased visibility during procedures. Crafted from polydioxanone, the PDS II suture offers exceptional strength retention with 80% at two weeks, progressively reducing to 60% at six weeks, ensuring a stable wound support as healing commences. The monofilament structure minimizes tissue drag and allows for a smooth passage through tissue, reducing the chances of infection and promoting faster healing. The absorption rate ranges between 182 to 238 days, which guarantees the suture will maintain tissue approximation just as long as needed before being fully absorbed by the body, leaving no residual material. Its needle, made from stainless steel, provides a 1/2 circle taper point that is ideal for minimizing tissue puncture trauma.
