PDS II Absorbable Suture With Needle Uncoated RB-1 17 Mm

PDS II (polydioxanone) Suture with RB-1 needle is a synthetic absorbable surgical suture, composed of polydioxanone. Designed for extended wound support, PDS II sutures provide predictable tensile strength retention, which gradually decreases as healing progresses. The suture's unique composition allows it to maintain 70% of tensile strength at four weeks, ensuring reliable support during critical wound healing periods. With an absorption rate of 182-238 days, PDS II suits a variety of procedures, including but not limited to soft tissue approximation and ligation. Its smooth tissue passage reduces the likelihood of tissue trauma, while the violet color enhances visibility during surgery.
