PDS II Absorbable Suture with Needle Uncoated CT-1 36 mm is designed for surgeons who require reliable wound closure with the added benefit of absorption, eliminating the need for suture removal post-surgery. Made of strong, durable polydioxanone, the suture offers consistent support during the critical wound healing period. It comes with a CT-1 36mm taper point needle that is designed to easily penetrate tissue with minimal trauma, providing a smooth passage through various tissue layers. This PDS II suture is dyed violet to enhance visibility during procedures and features unidirectional strength, retaining its tensile strength in the early stages of the healing process. With an absorption rate of 182 to 238 days, it ensures that wounds remain closed during an adequate healing period before being safely absorbed by the body.
