PDS II Absorbable Suture is a sterile monofilament polydioxanone suture designed for long-term wound support with smooth tissue passage and minimal tissue reaction. Equipped with a CT-1 1/2 circle taper point stainless steel needle, this synthetic absorbable suture provides excellent strength retention during the critical healing period while gradually absorbing over time, making it suitable for a wide range of soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures.

Features

• Synthetic absorbable polydioxanone monofilament suture
• CT-1 1/2 circle taper point needle for smooth tissue penetration
