Monofilament Polydioxanone Barbed Suture

ABSORBABLE SURGICAL SUTURE (SYNTHETIC)

Monofilament Polydioxanone barb suture is sterile, synthetic, absorbable surgical sutures made from polydioxanone. They are available in clear (undyed) and violet (dyed) forms. The polymer has the repeating unit —[O-(CH2) 2-0-CH2-CO]n- and is manufactured without stabilizing or antioxidizing agents, with residual monomers, catalysts, heavy metals, and solvents controlled within specified limits.

Intended Use: Monofilament Polydioxanone Barb suture is intended for use in general soft tissue approximation or ligation where an absorbable monofilament suture is required.

Key Features:

  1. Knotless fixation with barb suture for secure tissue anchoring and even tension distribution
  2. Long-term absorbable strength, providing prolonged wound support during healing
  3. Smooth monofilament structure, reducing tissue drag and infection risk
  4. Efficient and timesaving, shortens suturing time and improves closure consistency

Best Used In:

  • General Surgery
  • Gynecological Surgery

Additional Information:

  • Material: Poly (P-dioxanone)
  • Sterilization: Ethylene oxide
  • Shelf Life: 5 years
  • Packaging: It is primarily packed in aluminum foil and then placed in a secondary carton to ensure protection during storage and transportation.

FAQs

  1. What is a Monofilament Polydioxanone Barbed Suture?
    It is an absorbable monofilament surgical suture made from polydioxanone and designed with barbs that engage tissue along the suture line.
  2. What is the purpose of the barbed design?
    The barbs help maintain tissue approximation along the closure line and may reduce the need for conventional knot tying, depending on the product design and surgical technique.
  3. Is Polydioxanone Barbed Suture absorbable?
    Yes. Polydioxanone is an absorbable synthetic material that gradually loses tensile strength and is absorbed by the body over time.
  4. Where are Monofilament Polydioxanone Barbed Sutures used?
    They may be used for soft-tissue approximation and wound closure in procedures where an absorbable barbed closure system is appropriate. Specific indications depend on the manufacturer’s approved instructions for use.
  5. What are the advantages of a monofilament barbed suture?
    A monofilament construction provides a smooth single-strand structure, while the barbed design can help distribute tension along the closure line and support efficient tissue approximation.
