Ethicon Z371T 1 PDS II VIOLET 1X36" CTX BX/24

Ethicon Z371T 1 PDS II VIOLET 1X36" CTX BX/24

The Ethicon Z371T (PDS™ II) is a premium, synthetic, absorbable monofilament suture engineered for extended wound support. In Size 1 (4.0 metric), this suture is specifically designed for high-stress anatomical sites where healing is slow or where prolonged support is critical—such as the abdominal fascia (linea alba), pediatric cardiovascular anastomoses, or orthopedic ligament repairs.

Technical specifications

• Brand: Ethicon
• Reference / model: Z371T
• Model: / REF: Z371T
• Material: Monofilament Polydioxanone

Additional product details

• Constructed from Polydioxanone, PDS™ II offers the longest absorption profile of any synthetic absorbable suture.
• Manufacturer: Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson)
• Brand: PDS™ II
• Suture Size: 1 (4.0 metric) — Maximum Structural Strength
• Length: 36 Inches (90 cm)
• Needle: 48mm CTX (1/2 Circle)
• Needle Point: Taper Point (Atraumatic)
• Quantity: Full Box of 24 Sterile Units
• Extended Tensile Strength Retention: PDS™ II provides critical support during the extended healing phase. It retains approximately 80% of its original strength at 2 weeks, 70% at 4 weeks, and 60% at 6 weeks. This makes it the "gold standard" for patients with compromised healing factors (e.g., obesity, diabetes, or malignancy).
• Heavy-Duty CTX Needle: The 48mm CTX (Circle Taper Extra-Large) is a robust needle designed to penetrate thick fascia or heavy soft tissue without bending.
• Predictable Absorption Profile: While providing long-term support, the suture is eventually absorbed via hydrolysis. Minimal mass remains at 90 days, with complete absorption typically occurring between 180 and 210 days.
• Status: New – Factory Sealed.
• Integrity:
