Description

Suture, PDO 3-0 Violet 1X27 SH is a synthetic, absorbable monofilament suture composed of polydioxanone. It is designed to provide extended tensile strength retention and predictable absorption through hydrolysis. The suture maintains approximately 50% of its tensile strength at four weeks and is completely absorbed within 180 to 220 days. The violet color enhances visibility during surgical procedures, allowing for precise placement.

This suture is equipped with an SH Taper Point Needle, designed for smooth penetration through delicate tissues with minimal trauma. The 1/2 circle curvature allows for optimal maneuverability in confined surgical fields, facilitating precise suturing in deep layers. The needle is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring sharpness and durability throughout multiple passes.

As a monofilament suture, PDO 3-0 offers minimal tissue reactivity and reduced bacterial colonization compared to braided alternatives. The smooth structure allows for easy passage through tissue, minimizing friction and ensuring secure knotting. The controlled degradation process ensures that tissue support is maintained during the critical healing phase before gradual absorption.
