PDO™ Sutures Size 1-0 | 27" | CT-1 | 1/2 Circle Violet
Surgical Specialties
The PDO™ (Polydioxanone) Sutures Size 1-0 are designed for reliable wound closure, providing optimal tensile strength and excellent handling properties. These sutures measure 27 inches in length and come with a CT-1 1/2 circle needle, featuring a violet hue for enhanced visibility during surgical procedures. PDO™ sutures are widely used in various medical specialties due to their excellent biocompatibility and predictable absorption profile.
Product Features:
- Material Composition: Made from polydioxanone, a synthetic monofilament material known for its excellent tensile strength and biocompatibility. PDO sutures offer consistent performance in maintaining wound approximation throughout the healing process.
- Needle Specifications: Equipped with a CT-1 needle, which is a half-circle taper point needle designed for ease of passage through tissues with minimal resistance, reducing the risk of trauma.
- Violet Color: The suture's violet color enhances visibility, facilitating precise placement and reducing the risk of errors during surgery.
- Predictable Absorption: The sutures provide reliable absorption over approximately 180 to 210 days, ensuring the wound remains supported during critical healing phases. This predictable absorption minimizes the need for suture removal, reducing patient discomfort.
Intended Use:
The PDO™ Sutures are intended for use in various surgical procedures that require extended wound support, such as general surgery, cardiovascular surgery, orthopedic surgery, and plastic surgery. They are particularly suitable for use in tissues where a longer wound healing period is anticipated and where absorbable sutures are preferred.
Benefits:
- Extended Wound Support: Maintains tensile strength for a prolonged period, providing extended support to healing tissues.
- Reduced Tissue Reaction: The monofilament construction minimizes tissue drag and reaction, promoting a smoother and less inflammatory healing process.
- Enhanced Precision: The violet color improves suture visibility, aiding in accurate placement and secure wound closure.
- Biocompatibility: Made from polydioxanone, which is well-tolerated by the body, reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
