Ethicon PDP990G PDS® II (Polydioxanone) Suture | Size 0 | Synthetic Absorbable Monofilament | 27 in (70 cm) | CT-1 Taper Point Needle (1/2 Circle, 36 mm) | Violet Monofilament | Box of 12 | Sterile | New

Expiration: 2028/09/30

The Ethicon PDP990G PDS® II Suture is a premium synthetic absorbable monofilament designed for extended wound support and smooth tissue passage. Manufactured from polydioxanone, PDS II is specifically formulated to provide prolonged tensile strength retention during slow tissue healing processes, such as fascia and abdominal wall closures. Armed with a heavy-bodied CT-1 taper point needle (36 mm, 1/2 circle), this suture penetrates delicate soft tissues cleanly without tearing, while its smooth monofilament surface minimizes drag and tissue reactivity. Ideal for surgical training labs, simulation centers, and medical device research evaluations.

Key Features

• Monofilament construction glides smoothly through tissue to reduce drag and minimize local tissue trauma
• Extended tensile strength profile provides extended support ideal for slow-healing tissue structures and high-stress incisions
• Heavy-body CT-1 taper point needle offers reliable penetration power and structural stability during deep tissue suturing
• Synthetically absorbed via gentle hydrolysis, resulting in low tissue reaction during the absorption cycle
• Distinct violet coloring allows enhanced visualization and precise tracking within the surgical field
