The PDO Absorbable Surgical Suture is a monofilament suture made from polydioxanone, offering excellent tensile strength and predictable absorption in tissue. It is widely used for soft tissue approximation and ligation in various surgical procedures.
These sutures are designed to minimize tissue irritation and support natural healing by gradually being absorbed by the body within 180-210 days.
Key Features:
- Made of polydioxanone (PDO), a biocompatible and absorbable material
- Monofilament design reduces tissue drag and infection risk
- Maintains tensile strength during critical wound healing period
- Complete absorption in approximately 6-7 months
- Available in various sizes and needle types to meet surgical needs
Applications:
- General soft tissue closure
- Cardiovascular and abdominal surgeries
- Gynecological and plastic surgeries
