Product Overview ITGen is a medical-grade manufacturer specializing in veterinary absorbable sutures. The PDO monofilament series combines Japanese 420J2 surgical needles and South Korean PDO thread to deliver high tensile strength, low tissue trauma and extended wound support.

Basic Product Information

• Packaging: 12 foils per box, 100 boxes per carton.
• Premium packaging: ergonomic pull-out box with high-shrinkage smoke film; each box contains 12 individual sterile pouches with double-layer sterilization and clear specification labeling.
• Shelf life: 3 years (see technical specifications).
• Storage & use: single-use only. Store in a cool, dry place; protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Detailed Specifications

• Needle types & sizes (Reverse Cutting Needle): 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, 5/0 — Length: 90 cm.
• Needle types & sizes (Round Bodied Needle): 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, 5/0 — Length: 90 cm.

Premium Materials & Craftsmanship

• Surgical needle: Japanese 420J2 needle steel; tips undergo precision tip-quenching for sharpness and smooth tissue penetration.
• Suture thread: original South Korean Meta PDO thread for consistent performance and biocompatibility.

Absorption Profile Designed for long-term support with complete mass absorption within 180–220 days.

Clinical Application Range Engineered for tissues and organs with extended healing times. Suitable for internal cavity surgeries including infected wounds, gastrointestinal and urinary procedures, and lumens exposed to alkaline digestive fluids (e.g., intestinal anastomosis, gallbladder suturing).

Key Advantages

• Extended support duration among common absorbable sutures due to monofilament PDO construction.
• Minimal tissue trauma: reduced tissue drag and lower tissue reaction compared to PGA sutures.
• Monofilament infection control: reduced microbial attachment lowers infection risk in internal structures.
• High tensile strength (ITGen laboratory data).

Core Strengths & Performance Japanese steel precision with two needle geometries to match tissue types: round bodied (tapered tip for delicate tissues) and reverse cutting (triangular cutting tip for tougher tissues such as skin and tendons). Biocompatible degradation products with hydrolysis profile matched to healing times.
