Description

The Suture, PDS Mono Clear 4-0 18 PS2, featuring a reverse cutting needle, is a high-performance surgical suture designed for precision and reliability. Made from polydioxanone (PDS), this monofilament suture is ideal for use in soft tissue approximation and ligation where extended strength retention is crucial. The clear, undyed material enhances visibility during procedures, while its smooth passage through tissue reduces trauma and discomfort for the patient.

This suture offers exceptional strength retention, maintaining approximately 80% of its tensile strength at two weeks, 70% at four weeks, and 60% at six weeks. The extended strength retention makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring prolonged support, such as in deep tissue repairs or areas under continuous stress. It is fully absorbed by the body within 183 to 238 days, minimizing the need for suture removal and reducing the risk of foreign body reaction.

Designed for minimal tissue reactivity, the PDS Mono Clear 4-0 suture provides reliable performance while minimizing post-operative complications. Its reverse-cutting needle ensures precise insertion and reliable knot security, making it a preferred choice for a range of surgical procedures.
