【TECHNICAL DATA】
PDO (polydioxanone) monofilament synthetic absorbablesuture is prepared from the polyester, poly (p-dioxanone).The empirical molecular formula of the polymer is (C4H6O3)x.when dyed, color additives such asD&CViolet No. 2 are used.Polydioxanone polymer hasbeen found to benonantigenicnonpyrogenic, and elicits only a slight tissue reactionduring absorption. PDO meet all the requirements ofEuropeanPharmacopoeia (EP) forSyntheticAbsorbableMonofilament Sutures.
