The PDS II Polydioxanone suture is a monofilament, absorbable suture designed for tissue approximation. This size 5-0 suture with a reverse cutting needle offers smooth passage through tissue and minimal tissue reactivity. Its strength retention profile provides reliable support during the critical healing phase, maintaining 80% strength at 2 weeks, 70% at 4 weeks, and 60% at 6 weeks. Complete mass absorption occurs between 183 and 238 days. The clear, uncoated monofilament construction ensures a smooth tie and minimizes the risk of infection. This suture is ideal for procedures requiring extended wound support.

• Absorbable: Eliminates the need for suture removal.
• Monofilament: Provides smooth passage through tissue and minimizes tissue reactivity.
• Polydioxanone: Offers predictable strength retention and absorption.
• Reverse Cutting Needle: Facilitates precise tissue penetration.
• Extended Absorption: Maintains strength during critical healing periods.
