Description

PDS II Violet Monofilament Suture, Size 2/0, 8-18", CP-2 Needle is a synthetic absorbable suture made from polydioxanone, designed for prolonged wound support. The violet coloration enhances visibility during surgical procedures, facilitating precise placement. The monofilament construction provides a smooth surface, resulting in minimal tissue drag and reduced inflammatory response.

The suture is equipped with a CP-2 reverse cutting needle, which is specifically engineered for secure tissue penetration and precise handling. This needle type is suitable for tough or dense tissues where controlled cutting action is necessary. The curved shape of the needle allows for easy maneuverability through various soft tissues with minimal trauma.

PDS II maintains approximately 80% of its tensile strength at two weeks post-implantation, 70% at four weeks, and 60% at six weeks, offering sustained wound support during extended healing periods. The gradual loss of strength corresponds with tissue regeneration, ensuring adequate approximation until healing is sufficient.
