This STRATAFIX® Spiral PDO Suture, product code SXPD2B424, is designed for knotless tissue control where extended absorption and controlled tensile retention are required. Manufactured from polydioxanone (PDO), this absorbable bidirectional barbed suture provides reliable wound approximation without the need for knot tying.

The USP 4-0 diameter offers refined tensile performance suitable for delicate soft tissue approximation. The violet monofilament construction enhances intraoperative visibility, while the spiral barbed design distributes tension evenly from the midpoint outward, supporting balanced wound closure.

Each device features a bidirectional 24 cm × 24 cm strand configuration. Fitted with two 19 mm V-26 taper cut needles, this setup enables symmetrical closure in opposing directions, combining smooth tissue penetration with enhanced dermal engagement.

STRATAFIX® Spiral PDO is absorbable via hydrolysis, with an absorption profile of approximately 120–180 days. Breaking strength retention is approximately 67% at 2 weeks, 50% at 4 weeks, and 37% at 6 weeks, supporting sustained wound support during the critical healing phase. Supplied sterile via ETO sterilisation and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring absorbable bidirectional knotless tissue control.
