Long-term absorbable suture thread Premisut PDO Barbed

soft tissue surgery4-03-0

Overview
Premisut PDO Barbed (Polydioxanone Knotless Tissue-Closure Device) is comprised of barbed dyed Polydioxanone suture material, armed with a surgical needle on one end and an end stopper at the other end. The Premisut PDO Barbed is oriented in one direction to allow for tissue approximation without the need to tie surgical knots. Premisut PDO Barbed consists of dyed (violet) polyester, poly(p-dioxanone). The empirical molecular formula is (C4H6O3)X. The pigment for the violet dye is D&C Violet No. 2.

Indication
Indicated for use in soft tissue approximation where use of Polydioxanone absorbable sutures is appropriate.

Performance characteristics
The two characteristics of Premisut PDO Barbed, tensile strength retention & absorption rate (loss of mass), are formulated to minimize the variability of these characteristics and to provide wound support through the critical wound healing period and an extended healing period.

Market note
The technical characteristics may slightly vary or be adjusted depending on the needs of each market (e.g. coating, tensile strength, needle composition, packaging etc).
