Description

The Suture, PDS Mono Clear 5-0 18 P3, is an absorbable synthetic monofilament suture made from polyester p-dioxanone. This high-quality suture is designed for soft tissue approximation, making it ideal for various surgical procedures.

Its monofilament construction ensures minimal tissue reaction and smooth passage through tissues, promoting efficient healing and reducing patient discomfort. The clear coloration of the suture enhances its suitability for delicate surgeries where precision and minimal visibility are required.

This suture is particularly indicated for use in pediatric cardiovascular tissue, where growth is expected, and in ophthalmic surgery, where precise and minimally invasive suturing is essential. The absorbable nature of the suture eliminates the need for removal, thereby reducing the risk of infection and enhancing patient comfort. However, it is important to note that this suture is not recommended for use in adult cardiovascular tissue, microsurgery, or neural tissue due to the specialized requirements of these applications.

The Suture, PDS Mono Clear 5-0 18 P3, is especially valuable in situations where the combination of an absorbable suture and extended wound support is desirable. It provides extended wound support for up to six weeks, ensuring that tissues remain securely approximated during the critical initial healing phase.
