Sutures indicated for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in reconstructive, plastic, aesthetic, and bariatric surgical procedures. These sutures are especially useful for robotic surgery and microsurgical techniques. Characteristics High initial tensile strength Loss of tensile strength ideal for sustained wound support Extreme handling and flexibility Excellent closure of the fabrics Preassembled pierced needle in 302 series stainless steel Reduction of surgical times. Typology Monofilament absorbable synthetic suture Molecule Polydioxanone Tensile strength The PDO suture, two weeks after implantation, has a breaking strength equal to about 75% of the initial one, which after four weeks becomes slightly less than 70%. In six weeks the tensile strength is between 55% and 60%. Absorption It occurs through hydrolysis and is completed in about 180-220 days. Color Purple
