Description

The PDS II Violet Monofilament Suture, Size 3/0, 27", CP-2 Needle, is engineered for reliable and effective surgical use. Featuring a reverse cutting needle, this suture facilitates precise tissue penetration and secure knotting. The needle’s design minimizes tissue trauma and enhances the accuracy of the suturing process.

The suture maintains substantial strength over time, with approximately 80% strength retention at two weeks, 70% at four weeks, and 60% at six weeks. This gradual decrease in tensile strength aligns with the natural healing process, providing extended support while accommodating tissue recovery and integration.

The smooth passage through tissue provided by the PDS II Violet Monofilament Suture reduces drag and minimizes tissue reactivity. This low tissue reactivity enhances patient comfort and promotes a more favorable healing environment, making it suitable for delicate or sensitive tissues.

The violet color of the suture improves visibility during surgical procedures, facilitating precise placement and handling. The combination of high tensile strength, smooth passage, and low tissue reactivity makes the PDS II Violet Monofilament Suture an excellent choice for a variety of surgical applications.
