Monofilament Polydioxanone Suture
Synthetic Absorbable Suture U.S.P (Sterilized Surgical Needled Suture)
Monofilament Polydioxanone Suture (PDS Suture) is synthetic absorbable sterile surgical Suture composed of the polyester, poly (p-dioxanone). PDS Suture is made from polymerizing para dioxanone monomer. It is available in Violet color. In house needle manufacturing provides you the better needles with optimum sharpness which finally delivers smooth riding on tissues during suturing.
INDICATIONS
Monofilament Polydioxanone Suture is suitable for the cases where extended wound support and strength are required. It retains about 70% of the initial strength for 2 weeks, 50% for 4 weeks, 25% for 6 weeks and is absorbed through simple hydrolysis and completely get absorbed within 180-210 days. Absorption of PDS suture is reliable and predictable. Loop suture is available for size 0 & 1.
- Properties: Good flexibility, Reliable knot security, Smooth passage through tissue provides no trauma, Superior high extended tensile strength.
- PDS Sutures are ideal for use in general orthopedic surgery, sub cuticular, gastrointestinal tract, pediatric cardiovascular surgery, sheath closure and general surgery.

Question 1: What is Polydioxanone Suture?
Answer: Polydioxanone is a synthetic absorbable monofilament suture made from poly(p-dioxanone). It is designed to provide extended temporary support while maintaining smooth tissue passage and low capillarity.
Question 2: Where is Polydioxanone Suture commonly used?
Answer: It is often selected for slowly healing tissues that require support for a longer period. Possible applications include general and orthopaedic surgery, subcuticular closure, gastrointestinal surgery and sheath closure.
Question 3: How long does Polydioxanone retain strength and absorb?
Answer: Polydioxanone provides wound support for approximately 35 to 50 days. Complete absorption is gradual and generally takes around 180 to 210 days through hydrolysis.
Question 4: What are the advantages of a Polydioxanone monofilament?
Answer: Its monofilament structure offers smooth tissue passage and lower capillarity than braided sutures. It also retains strength for longer, making it useful when faster-absorbing sutures may not provide enough support.
Question 5: What sizes and configurations are available?
Answer: Polydioxanone Suture is available in a range of USP sizes with multiple needle options. Loop configurations may also be available in selected sizes for procedures where continuous closure is preferred.
