PDS Sutures, also called PDO Sutures, are sterile monofilament Synthetic Absorbable Sutures composed of the polyester, poly (p-dioxanone). Polydioxanone suture provides wound support for longer period as compared to other synthetic absorbable sutures. Polydioxanone suture also offers far superior tensile strength.

PDS Sutures or PDO Sutures (Polydioxanone Sutures)

Polydioxanone suture is made from polymerizing para dioxanone monomer. PDS sutures provide wound support for longer periods up to 50 days and offers far superior tensile strength and outstanding pliability. Its monofilament structure provides good handling properties and excellent knot security. Absorption of suture is by simple hydrolysis within 180 days from implantation day. Absorption of polydioxanone suture is reliable and predictable.

PDS Sutures or PDO Sutures (Polydioxanone Sutures)

Polydioxanone sutures are ideal for use in general orthopaedic surgery, sub cuticular, gastro intestinal tract, paediatric cardiovascular surgery, sheath closure and general surgery. PDS sutures alo cause minimal tissue reaction
