12 individually packed 90 cm synthetic monofilament absorbable surgical sutures from polydioxanone (PDO), violet colour, swaged to a reverse cutting 3/8-circle needle or a 1/2-circle round needle. Sterilised with Ethylenoxide (EO).
Slow absorption and prolonged tensile-strength retention make it well suited for slowly healing tissues.
CHARACTERISTICS
Polydioxanone monofilament absorbable synthetic threads.
Extended support – absorbable with prolonged tensile-strength retention.
Predictable absorption – absorbed by hydrolysis over a defined period.
Minimal tissue reactivity – biocompatible polydioxanone material, minimal tissue response.
Smooth monofilament – passes through tissue with minimal drag and reduced trauma.
Violet colour – high visibility against tissue for precise surgical procedures.
Reduced capillarity – minimal fluid wicking reduces fluid and bacterial transport.
Sterile packaging – safe for surgical use.
INDICATIONS
For veterinary use. Typically used for soft-tissue approximation and ligation where extended wound support is required, including muscle repair, fascial and abdominal-wall closure, selected fascial closures during hernia repair, subcutaneous or intradermal closure, and vessel ligation for haemostasis, procedures in confined or difficult-to-access areas.
PACKAGING
Box of 12 individually sterilized pouches with swaged (crimped) needle.
AVAILABLE VARIANTS
USP 4/0 to USP 0 (or EP1.5 to EP3.5) with reverse cutting 3/8-circle needle (19mm, 26mm, 36 mm); and USP 0 (EP3.5) with round 1/2-circle needle (37mm).
