Ethicon PDS II Polydioxanone Suture Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Sutures

The Ethicon PDS II (Polydioxanone) Suture range from Ethicon consists of absorbable monofilament surgical sutures designed to deliver prolonged wound support with reliable handling and predictable absorption.

Manufactured from polydioxanone, PDS II sutures offer extended tensile strength retention compared with many absorbable alternatives, making them suitable for closures where long-term support is required during healing. The monofilament construction allows smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and minimal tissue reaction, supporting consistent and controlled wound approximation.

PDS II sutures are widely used in general surgery, abdominal wall closure, paediatric surgery, orthopaedics and soft tissue approximation where extended absorbable support is clinically beneficial. Supplied sterile and single-use, this department includes a broad range of USP sizes and needle configurations suitable for hospitals, operating theatres and specialist surgical environments.
