Description

The Suture, PDS II Clear Monofilament, Size 3/0, 18", PS-2 Needle is a high-quality, absorbable synthetic monofilament suture. This suture is prepared from the polyester p-dioxanone, providing a reliable option for soft tissue approximation. The monofilament design ensures minimal tissue reaction and smooth passage through tissues, which is essential for reducing patient discomfort and promoting efficient healing.

Indicated for use in soft tissue approximation, the PDS II suture is particularly beneficial in pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur. It is also suitable for ophthalmic surgery, where precision and minimal tissue reaction are critical. The suture's absorbable nature eliminates the need for suture removal, thereby reducing the risk of infection and improving patient compliance.

The PDS II suture is particularly useful in situations where the combination of an absorbable suture and extended wound support is desirable. This suture provides extended wound support for up to six weeks, ensuring that the tissue remains securely approximated during the critical initial healing phase.

The PS-2 needle associated with this suture is designed for efficient and precise penetration. The needle's sharpness and strength ensure that it can easily penetrate tissues with minimal trauma, reducing the risk of tissue damage and promoting faster healing.
