Description
Suture, PDS II Mono Clear 4-0, 18 P3 is an advanced surgical suture designed to facilitate precise wound closure in medical procedures. Composed of PDS II Mono Clear material, a synthetic, absorbable polymer, this suture combines biocompatibility with exceptional tensile strength. The clear composition enhances visibility during suturing, allowing for accurate placement in delicate surgical sites.
With a diameter of 4-0, this suture is finely calibrated for applications requiring a balance between strength and finesse. The designation "18 P3" indicates that each package contains 18 sutures, ensuring an ample supply for various surgical needs.
The mono-filament structure of the suture reduces tissue drag and trauma, contributing to a smoother suturing process. This feature is particularly advantageous in procedures where precision and minimal tissue disruption are crucial.
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.
