Product catalog summary
Product Specifications:
  • Features microscopic etching for self-anchoring without knots.
  • Made from monofilament synthetic material that hydrolyzes within 180 days, maintaining tissue tension for about a month.
  • Reduces blood loss and surgical difficulty.
  • Minimizes local inflammation and infection risk due to its monofilament structure.
  • Facilitates easier and faster surgical procedures.
  • Minimal compromise on closure strength and scar appearance.
Technical Information:
  • Available in clear (undyed) and violet (dyed) colors.
  • Composed of 100% Polydioxanone, a synthetic, absorbable, monofilament surgical suture.
  • Wound support lasts approximately 60 days, with absorption occurring over 180-210 days.
  • Residue content includes monomers ≤ 1.0 w/w %, catalysts ≤ 100 ppm, heavy metals ≤ 10 ppm, and solvents ≤ 500 ppm.
  • Sterilized using Ethylene Oxide (EO).
  • Moisture content is ≤ 400 ppm, retaining about 50% of initial strength after two weeks.
  • Recommended storage conditions are low temperature (1~30°C) and low humidity (less than 60% RH), preferably in a dry chamber or refrigerator at -10°C.
Size and Measurement:
  • USP sizes range from 4-0 to 2, with corresponding EP (Gauge No.) from 1.5 to 5.
  • Minimum and maximum average values for sizes range from 0.360 to 0.690 mm.
  • Barbed spacing varies according to USP/METRIC range.
