PDS II absorbable suture with needle is a monofilament polydioxanone suture paired with a TP-1 1/2 circle taper point needle. It fits buyers looking for an absorbable suture intended for smooth tissue passage and low tissue reactivity. This size 1 option includes a 65 mm needle and a 48 inch violet suture.

Good Fit For

• Facilities standardizing on absorbable monofilament sutures
• Workflows where smooth tissue passage and low tissue reactivity are priorities
• Buyers selecting a size 1 suture with a 65 mm taper point needle

Key Features

• Absorbable monofilament suture for workflows that call for gradual absorption
• Polydioxanone suture material with complete mass absorption in 183 to 238 days
• TP-1 1/2 circle taper point needle supports smooth passage through tissue
• Strength retention is 80% at 2 weeks, 70% at 4 weeks, and 60% at 6 weeks
• Size 1 violet suture helps distinguish this specific configuration
• 65 mm stainless steel needle paired with a 48 inch suture

Applications and Usage

• Stocking absorbable suture inventory for procedural settings
• Selecting a monofilament suture when a taper point needle is preferred
• Choosing a longer 48 inch suture for procedures that call for that length
