Polydioxanone (PDO) monofilament

Polydioxanone (PDO) is a synthetic, sterile, absorbable suture material with a moderate absorption rate. Polydioxanone (PDO) is non-pyrogenic and causes minimal tissue reaction. The smooth surface of the monofilament Polydioxanone (PDO) ensures its easy passage through tissues with minimal trauma.

Specifications:

• Sizes: USP 7/0 – USP 1;
• Shelf life: 5 years;
• Color: violet;
• Composition: polydioxanone;
• Tissue reaction: minimal;

Absorption rate and in vivo tensile strength retention: After 14 days, the suture material polydioxanone (PDO) retains over 75% of its initial strength. Approximately 50% of the strength is retained after 6 weeks. Nearly complete absorption occurs by the 90th day. Complete disappearance of the suture material occurs after 180-210 days.

Packaging: Polydioxanone (PDO) is supplied in a sterile hermetic package with a needle;

Sterilization method: Polydioxanone (PDO) is sterilized with ethylene oxide;

Application: Polydioxanone (PDO) suture material is used for suturing all types of soft tissues and can be used in pediatric, cardiovascular, microsurgery, ophthalmology, and dental procedures. It is particularly effective in situations where an absorbable suture material is required, and longer (up to six weeks) support of wound edges is needed.
