Monofilament Polydioxanone Absorbable Surgical Suture
FEATURES OF PD SYNTH
- Superior extended tensile strength
- Allows smooth passage through tissue with minimal trauma
- Provides wound support for longer periods
- Slow and predictable absorption
- Induces minimal inflammation
- Available Loop suture in size 1 & 1-0
PD Synth is suitable for cases where extended wound support and strength are required for rectus sheath closure or fascia closure. Absorption of this suture is through simple hydrolysis. It retains about 70% of the initial tensile strength after 2 weeks, 50% after 4 weeks, 25% after 6 weeks and is absorbed in the tissue within 180 to 210 days from the time of implantation.
APPLICATIONS
- Rectus sheath closure
- Fascia closure and gastrointestinal tract
- Pediatric cardiovascular surgery
- Orthopedic surgery
- Geriatric surgeries
- General surgery
PD Synth can also be used on patients suffering from chronic ailments like cancer or diabetes where the healing period may be long.
