PDS® ll Sutures Size 4-0 | 18" | P-3 | 3/8 Circle Undyed
ETH-Z494G
Ethicon
Skin Closure
The Z494G PDS® ll Suture is a high-performance, synthetic, absorbable monofilament suture designed for various surgical procedures requiring extended wound support. This suture is particularly effective in situations where prolonged tensile strength is critical for the healing process.
Features:
- Size: 4-0
- Length: 18 inches
- Needle: P-3 (3/8 Circle)
- Material: Polydioxanone
- Structure: Monofilament
- Color: Violet or undyed
Benefits:
- Extended Wound Support: PDS® ll Sutures offer a prolonged tensile strength retention profile, making them ideal for tissues that require extended support during the healing process.
- Minimized Tissue Reaction: The monofilament structure reduces tissue drag and minimizes the risk of infection and inflammation.
- Absorption Profile: These sutures gradually hydrolyze over approximately 180 to 210 days, which aligns with the tissue healing process, providing reliable support without the need for removal.
- Versatility: Suitable for a variety of surgical applications including general soft tissue approximation and ligation, especially in cases where extended support is beneficial.
Applications:
- General Surgery: Ideal for soft tissue approximation and ligation, including procedures involving fascia, muscle, and skin.
- Orthopedic Surgery: Provides the necessary support for repairing ligaments, tendons, and other critical structures.
- Plastic Surgery: Effective in procedures requiring fine, secure closures that support optimal aesthetic outcomes.
- Pediatric Surgery: Safe and effective for use in pediatric patients, where tissue reaction and healing profiles are crucial.
