Ethicon PDS™ II (polydioxanone) Sutures are high-performance, synthetic absorbable monofilament sutures engineered for extended wound support and minimal tissue reaction.

Constructed from polydioxanone polymer, PDS™ II sutures provide smooth tissue passage and maintain tensile strength significantly longer than braided absorbable alternatives, making them ideal for procedures requiring prolonged support.

This configuration features a USP 2-0 gauge, 70cm (27 inch) length, and double-armed STP-10 taper point needles, offering precision placement and optimal control in delicate and high-tension closures.

The violet colour enhances intraoperative visibility for improved handling and accuracy.

Key Features:

Synthetic absorbable monofilament (polydioxanone)
Extended tensile strength retention for long-term support
Smooth passage with minimal tissue drag
Low tissue reactivity
Excellent handling and knot security
