UNISYNTH PDS Sutures: Superior Strength and Absorption By Universal Suture
Introduction
UNISYNTH Polydioxanone (PDS) Sutures, brought to the medical field by Universal Suture, represent the pinnacle of synthetic absorbable suture technology. These sutures are crafted from poly (p-dioxanone), a polyester that offers exceptional strength and predictability in absorption. Designed for surgical scenarios that demand prolonged support and durability, UNISYNTH PDS Sutures provide reliable performance with enhanced handling features.
Optimal Design for Enhanced Surgical Outcomes
The monofilament structure of UNISYNTH PDS Sutures ensures minimal tissue trauma during suturing, thanks to its smooth passage through tissues. Available in a distinctive Violet color, these sutures are not only practical but also enhance visibility during procedures. The superior needle technology, perfected in-house, guarantees optimal sharpness, significantly improving the suturing experience by providing smoother needle entry and exit.
Key Features and Advantages
Extended Tensile Strength: UNISYNTH PDS Sutures retain approximately 70% of their initial tensile strength for up to two weeks post-operation, gradually decreasing over six weeks, which is crucial for sites requiring prolonged support.
Predictable Absorption: The suture material is absorbed through hydrolysis within 180–210 days, ensuring that no remnants are left to cause long-term tissue reactions or complications.
Reliable Knot Security and Flexibility: These sutures offer reliable knot security, reducing the risk of knot slippage and suture failure, coupled with good flexibility that aids in the ease of handling and knot tying.
Clinical Applications
UNISYNTH PDS Sutures are particularly well-suited for a variety of surgical interventions. Their prolonged tensile strength and absorption profile make them ideal for:
- General orthopedic surgery
- Subcuticular closures
- Gastrointestinal tract surgery
- Pediatric cardiovascular procedures
- Sheath closures in general surgery
