Polydioxanone
Polydioxanone (PDO) Surgical Sutures are absorbable monofilament sutures offering the longest duration of tensile strength among common synthetic absorbables, maintaining wound support for up to six weeks. PDO sutures are absorbed through hydrolysis with minimal inflammatory response, making them ideal for fascia closure, pediatric surgery, and procedures requiring extended subcutaneous support. The monofilament structure minimizes bacterial wicking and tissue trauma during passage. Available in violet or undyed configurations across standard USP sizes for operating room and outpatient surgical applications.
