Description
Monofilament – Violet synthetic absorbable Polydioxanone surgical suture.
PDO Surgical Suture is a sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament suture composed from polyester poly (p-dioxanone). PDO suture is available dyed (violet) in a wide variety of length & diameter combinations, with or without needle of various sizes and types, manufactured from high quality medical grade stainless steel. In periodontal surgery its monofilament characteristics allow for less plaque retention. The progressive loss of tensile strength and suture absorption occurs by hydrolysis, in which the polymer degrades in to a dipic acid which is subsequently absorbed and metabolized by the tissues. Absorption begins as loss of tensile strength with out appreciable loss of mass. The retention of PDO absorbable surgical suture is 65-70% of the original tensile strength after 4 weeks and 50-60% after 6 weeks. The absorption of the suture is essentially completed after a period of 180 – 220 days.
