Benefits
-
Superior Strength and Durability: Ethicon PDS II sutures are crafted from polydioxanone, providing excellent tensile strength for secure wound closure. The monofilament design minimises tissue drag and ensures smooth passage through tissue, reducing trauma.
-
Prolonged Wound Support: These sutures maintain their strength for up to 6 weeks post-implantation, offering prolonged support to aid in effective healing. The gradual absorption profile ensures that the suture maintains its integrity during the critical wound healing phase.
-
Predictable Absorption: PDS II sutures are designed to be absorbed predictably and completely by hydrolysis within approximately 182-238 days, eliminating the need for suture removal and reducing patient discomfort.
-
Reduced Risk of Infection: The monofilament structure resists bacterial colonisation, thereby minimising the risk of infection compared to braided sutures. This feature is crucial for ensuring patient safety and promoting faster recovery.
-
Versatility in Surgical Applications: Suitable for a wide range of soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures. The 2/0 size is particularly useful for delicate tissues where precision and minimal tissue reaction are paramount.
