Engineered as a perfectly smooth extrusion, this monofilament profile minimizes cellular tissue drag and dynamic friction during placement while preventing the harboring of bacterial biofilms or capillary fluid tracking often associated with braided vectors. Swaged as a single-armed layout to a standard 17 mm RB-1 style taper point needle featuring a 1\/2 circle curvature tracking radius and a completely non-cutting round body geometry that separates fragile tissue fibers rather than slicing them, this configuration is optimized for deep soft tissue approximations, pediatric cardiovascular tissues where growth is expected, and ophthalmic modifications requiring extended wound support (maintaining 60 percent active tensile strength at 2 weeks, 40 percent at 4 weeks, and 35 percent at 6 weeks post-op) before transitioning to complete mass absorption within 182 to 238 days via predictable in vivo chemical hydrolysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eManufacturer Part Number (MPN):\u003c\/b\u003e Z304H\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProduct Brand Family:\u003c\/b\u003e PDS II Polydioxanone Suture Portfolio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSuture Material Composition:\u003c\/b\u003e Polydioxanone (Synthetic polyester polymer)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStrand Structural Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e Monofilament (Smooth extrusion profile, zero capillary tracking risks)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThread Sizing Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Size 4-0 Suture (Fine USP 4-0 Gauge \/ Metric 1.5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSuture Length Dimension:\u003c\/b\u003e 27 inches (70 cm single continuous strand layout)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eColor Pigment Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e Violet (Dyed for maximum contrast against bright tissue beds)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,7,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,7,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNeedle Configuration:\u003c\/b\u003e Single-Armed (Swaged to one high-precision needle)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,8,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,8,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNeedle Type Classification:\u003c\/b\u003e RB-1 Taper Point (Round body profile, completely non-cutting geometry)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,9,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,9,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNeedle Curvature Geometry:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\/2 Circle curvature tracking radius\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,10,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,10,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNeedle Length Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e 17 mm structural length\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,11,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,11,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePackaging Matrix Configuration:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard box containing 36 sterile individual suture packets (H-box distribution unit)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,12,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,12,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAbsorption Profile Cycle:\u003c\/b\u003e Gradually breaks down via chemical hydrolysis in vivo, yielding complete mass absorption within approximately 182 to 238 days post-implantation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ethicon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48593236852961,"sku":null,"price":389.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/0527\/8543\/files\/2026062520435820260625_144244.jpg?v=1782476461","url":"https:\/\/primismedical.com\/products\/ethicon-pds-z304h-suture","provider":"Primis Medical","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
