Description

Taper Point PDS II Absorbable Suture with a 1.2 circle, 13 mm RB-2 double-armed needle, size 5-0, and violet color is designed for precise soft tissue approximation and ligation. The suture is composed of polydioxanone, a synthetic monofilament material known for its long-lasting tensile strength and predictable absorption profile. 

The taper point needle features a smooth, round body that allows atraumatic penetration of soft tissues with minimal trauma. Its 1.2 circle curvature and 13 mm length make it suitable for confined or delicate surgical sites, allowing controlled needle handling and precise suturing. The RB-2 double-armed design facilitates efficient suturing in procedures requiring two needles.

PDS II sutures exhibit complete mass absorption within 183 to 238 days through hydrolysis, minimizing the risk of long-term foreign body reactions. The monofilament structure contributes to smooth passage through tissues and low tissue reactivity, reducing inflammation and promoting optimal healing outcomes.
