Product Features
- Synthetic absorbable monofilament suture made from Polydioxanone (PDO).
- Violet dyed for enhanced visibility during surgical procedures.
- Smooth monofilament construction minimises tissue trauma and allows easy passage through tissue.
- Provides prolonged wound support, making it ideal for slow-healing tissues.
- Excellent long-term tensile strength with predictable absorption by hydrolysis.
- Superior handling characteristics with smooth knot run-down and secure knot performance.
Tensile Strength Retention
- 75% at 14 days
- 65% at 28 days
- 50% at 49 days
Absorption Time
- Gradually absorbed through hydrolysis.
- Complete absorption in approximately 6 months (180 days).
Recommended Applications
Suitable for soft tissue approximation and ligation where extended wound support is required.
