The Z339H PDS® II Sutures are high-performance, absorbable sutures designed to provide superior wound support and optimal healing in surgical procedures. With a size of 2-0 and a length of 27 inches, these sutures feature a CT-1 (1/2 circle) needle, making them ideal for a wide range of surgical applications, including soft tissue approximation and ligation.
Key Features:
- Premium Absorbable Material:
- PDS® II Sutures are made from polydioxanone, a high-molecular-weight polymer known for its excellent tensile strength and biocompatibility. This material ensures that the sutures provide long-lasting support during the critical wound healing period before being absorbed by the body.
- Extended Wound Support:
- These sutures are designed to offer extended wound support, maintaining approximately 70% of their original tensile strength at four weeks post-implantation. This extended support is particularly beneficial in tissues that require longer healing times, such as fascia and tendons.
- Predictable Absorption Profile:
- The PDS® II Sutures exhibit a predictable absorption profile, with absorption completed within 182 to 238 days. This gradual absorption process reduces the risk of premature suture degradation and ensures consistent wound support throughout the healing process.
- Reduced Tissue Reaction:
- Polydioxanone is known for its minimal tissue reactivity, reducing the risk of inflammation and adverse reactions at the wound site. This feature is crucial for minimizing post-operative complications and promoting smoother recovery.
- CT-1 Needle Design:
- The CT-1 needle, a 1/2 circle taper point needle, is specifically designed for easy penetration and smooth passage through tissues. The precision-engineered needle ensures minimal trauma and accurate placement of sutures, enhancing surgical efficiency and patient outcomes.
- Size 2-0 Sutures:
- Size 2-0 sutures provide a balance between strength and flexibility, making them suitable for various surgical applications. They are commonly used in general, cardiovascular, orthopedic, and plastic surgeries, among others.
- Length and Packaging:
- Each suture is 27 inches (70 cm) in length, providing ample material for secure knotting and multiple stitch placements. The sutures are individually packaged in sterile, easy-to-open pouches, ensuring convenience and maintaining sterility until use.
Indications:
- Soft Tissue Approximation: Ideal for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including use in tissues requiring extended wound support.
- Fascia and Tendons: Suitable for use in fascia and tendons where prolonged tensile strength retention is crucial for healing.
