JOST PDO is synthetic, monofilament, long-term absorbable sterile surgical suture are especially suitable for pediatric-cardiovascular surgery (where growth of tissue is expected).
- Material: Polydioxanone
- Color: violet, undyed
- Available in diameters 7/0-3, cut in different lengths
- Sterilized: ethylene oxide
- Depending on the diameter of the suture and surgical branch, sutures are combined with standard or special needles of different types and sizes.
Advantages:
JOST PDO can be used in pediatric cardio-vascular surgery (were growth of tissue us expected) and in ophthalmology.
Performance:
- Smooth surface provides easy passage through tissues
- Three tensile strength profiles marked as S3, S5 and S7
- Absorption is complete after ≈180 to 210 days, through hydrolysis of the suture to carbon dioxide and water which are metabolized.
