Description

The PDS II Clear Monofilament Suture, Size 5/0, 18", with P-2 Needle, is an advanced absorbable synthetic suture designed for high-performance applications. Made from polyester p-dioxanone, this suture provides excellent tensile strength and a prolonged absorption profile. It is particularly effective in scenarios where extended wound support is necessary, such as soft tissue approximation.

This suture is indicated for use in pediatric cardiovascular tissue, where growth is expected to occur, as well as in ophthalmic surgery. Its ability to provide reliable support during the healing process makes it a preferred choice for delicate surgeries, especially where long-term tissue approximation is required. The PDS II suture offers exceptional biocompatibility and is ideal for sensitive areas, ensuring a secure closure while minimizing the risk of inflammation or adverse reactions.

The PDS II suture is not recommended for use in adult cardiovascular tissue, microsurgery, or neural tissue, as these areas require different suture materials. Its absorbable nature eliminates the need for removal, offering convenience to both the clinician and the patient. The suture absorbs over time, maintaining tissue support for up to six weeks, after which it is gradually broken down and absorbed by the body.

The PDS II Clear Monofilament Suture provides a reliable, long-lasting solution for tissue repair, making it an invaluable tool in a variety of surgical procedures where both absorbability and extended support are required.
