Description

Suture, 1-48 PDS Plus Vio Mono TP1 is a sterile surgical thread made from polydioxanone (PDS Plus), a synthetic absorbable polymer known for its high tensile strength and biocompatibility. This monofilament suture is designed to provide extended wound support while gradually hydrolyzing and absorbing over approximately 180 days, making it suitable for procedures requiring long-term tissue healing and closure.

The suture's violet color enhances visibility during surgical procedures, facilitating precise placement and reducing the risk of inadvertent tissue damage. With a size of 1-0, it is suitable for applications where robust wound closure is necessary, such as abdominal and pelvic surgeries. The TP1 needle configuration, with a taper point and a 1/2 circle curvature, allows for smooth tissue penetration and secure knot tying, essential for maintaining wound integrity.

Manufactured under strict sterile conditions and individually packaged, Suture, 1-48 PDS Plus Vio Mono TP1 meets stringent quality standards for surgical use. Its smooth surface reduces tissue trauma during insertion and removal, promoting better patient outcomes and minimizing post-operative complications.

PDS Plus Antibacterial (polydioxanone) monofilament synthetic absorbable suture is prepared from the polyester, poly (p-dioxanone). The suture contains Irgacare MP (triclosan), a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent. PDS Plus Antibacterial sutures are indicated for use in soft tissue approximation, including use in pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur and ophthalmic surgery (other than contact with cornea and sclera). PDS Plus Antibacterial suture is not indicated in adult cardiovascular tissue, microsurgery, and neural tissue. These sutures are particularly useful where the combination of an absorbable suture and extended wound support (up to six weeks) is desirable.
