Ethicon D9586 PDS II 0 VIOLET 1X18" CTX DOUBLE ARMED, BX/12

Ethicon D9586 PDS II 0 VIOLET 1X18" CTX DOUBLE ARMED, BX/12

The Ethicon D9586 (PDS™ II) is a heavy-duty, synthetic absorbable monofilament suture engineered for structural wound support in high-tension environments. In Size 0 (3.5 metric), this suture provides significant tensile strength tailored for tissues that heal slowly or require prolonged reinforcement.

Technical specifications

• Brand: Ethicon

Additional product details

• This specialized configuration is Double-Armed, featuring two massive 48mm CTX (Circle Taper Extra-Large) needles swaged onto a single 18-inch strand. This setup is highly valued for "center-start" suturing techniques, allowing surgeons to anchor a repair at the midpoint and suture toward both ends simultaneously, which is ideal for massive fascia closures or orthopedic tendon/ligament reattachment.
• Manufacturer: Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson)
• Brand: PDS™ II (Polydioxanone)
• Suture Size: 0 (3.5 metric) — High-Strength Structural Grade
• Length: 18 Inches (45 cm)
• Configuration: Double-Armed (Needle at both ends)
• Color: Violet (For maximum visibility in deep anatomical spaces)
• Needle: 48mm CTX (1/2 Circle)
• Needle Point: Taper Point (Atraumatic)
• Quantity: Box of 12 Sterile Units
• Extended Healing Support: PDS™ II offers the longest strength-retention profile of any synthetic absorbable suture. It retains approximately 80% of its strength at 2 weeks, 70% at 4 weeks, and 60% at 6 weeks. This prolonged window is critical for patients with compromised healing or for tissues under constant mechanical load.
• Double-Armed Symmetry: The dual-needle design allows for complex "figure-of-eight" or mattress sutures to be placed with a single unit.
• CTX Needle Leverage: The 48mm CTX is a robust taper-point needle designed to penetrate dense fascia and thick soft tissue without bending.
• Unlike braided sutures, the monofilament design resists bacterial colonization and "wicking," making it safer for use in potentially contaminated fields.
• Predictable Absorption Profile: While providing long-term support, the material is eventually absorbed via hydrolysis, with complete mass absorption typically occurring between 180 and 210 days, leaving no permanent foreign body behind.
