Description

The PDS II Clear Monofilament Suture, Size 5/0, 18" with PS-2 Needle, is a specialized surgical tool crafted from absorbable synthetic monofilament prepared from polyester p-dioxanone. Designed for specific applications, this suture is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation, including pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected, and in ophthalmic surgery.

The polyester p-dioxanone composition renders the suture absorbable, providing a controlled and predictable absorption process. It is particularly useful in cases where an absorbable suture with extended wound support of up to six weeks is desirable. This characteristic makes it well-suited for scenarios where prolonged support is needed during the healing process.

It's important to note that the PDS II Clear Suture is not indicated for use in adult cardiovascular tissue, microsurgery, and neural tissue. This specificity ensures the appropriate application of the suture and adherence to medical guidelines.
