Description
Suture, PDS II 2-0, 27 Clear CT-1 is an advanced surgical suture meticulously crafted for optimal wound closure in medical procedures. The material, PDS II, is a synthetic, absorbable polymer known for its biocompatibility and excellent tensile strength. The clear composition of this suture enhances visibility during suturing, allowing for precise and accurate placement.
With a diameter of 2-0, this suture is specifically calibrated for a balance between strength and versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of surgical applications. The designation "27" indicates the length of the suture, providing ample material for various suturing needs.
The CT-1 coating further enhances the smooth passage of the suture through tissues, minimizing tissue trauma during the suturing process. This feature is particularly beneficial in delicate surgical procedures where precision is paramount.
PDS II (polydioxanone) monofilament synthetic absorbable suture is prepared from the polyester, poly (p-dioxanone). PDS sutures are indicated for use in soft tissue approximation, including use in pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur and ophthalmic surgery. PDS 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.
