{"title":"PDS II","description":"\u003ch1\u003ePDS II Absorbable Sutures\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePDS II sutures from Johnson \u0026amp; Johnson (Ethicon) are synthetic, absorbable monofilament sutures made from polydioxanone — the material surgeons reach for when a wound needs prolonged support during healing. Unlike faster-absorbing materials, PDS II retains meaningful tensile strength for weeks, making it a mainstay in soft tissue approximation, including pediatric cardiovascular, ophthalmic, gastrointestinal, and general closure procedures where extended wound support matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy polydioxanone monofilament matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a monofilament, PDS II passes through tissue with minimal drag and offers a smooth, low-reactivity profile that resists harboring bacteria compared with braided alternatives. Absorption occurs through predictable hydrolysis, with the suture essentially absorbed within about 182 to 238 days — long enough to carry tissues that heal slowly. The uncoated construction gives surgeons reliable knot security when placed correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the right size and needle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection spans the sizes and needle configurations that surgeons specify at the field.
