Ethicon PDS*II™ (Polydioxanone) Absorbable Suture — Violet Monofilament

The Ethicon PDS*II™ Absorbable Suture is a high-performance, synthetic monofilament suture designed to provide extended wound support while gradually absorbing through hydrolysis. Constructed from polydioxanone, this violet monofilament suture delivers predictable tensile strength retention and smooth handling characteristics, making it well suited for soft tissue approximation where prolonged support is required.

This configuration features size 0 (3.5 metric) suture material with a 27-inch (70 cm) strand length, armed with a CT-1 36 mm ½-circle taper needle, ideal for general closure, fascial layers, and deeper soft tissue applications. The monofilament structure supports low tissue drag and reduced bacterial adherence, contributing to reliable performance in surgical environments.

PDS*II™ sutures are commonly used in general surgery, abdominal closure, pediatric procedures, and other applications requiring extended absorbable support with controlled absorption.
