Description

The Suture, PDS Mono Violet 5-0 18 P3 is a high-performance monofilament suture designed for delicate surgical applications. Featuring a reverse cutting needle, this suture provides precise and efficient cutting through tough or dense tissues, ensuring clean and accurate incisions.

The suture maintains substantial tensile strength over time, with strength retention of 80% at two weeks, 70% at four weeks, and 60% at six weeks. This gradual decrease in strength supports the natural healing process by providing initial robust support, which diminishes as the tissue gradually gains its own strength.

Designed to facilitate smooth passage through tissue, the PDS Mono Violet 5-0 18 P3 suture reduces friction and minimizes tissue trauma. Its low tissue reactivity helps to reduce the risk of inflammation and adverse reactions at the suture site, promoting patient comfort and optimal healing outcomes.
