Description:
Healthium PD Synth Suture 5‑0 is a sterile, synthetic absorbable monofilament composed of polydioxanone, presented in a dark violet, ethylene oxide–sterilized format. Designed for fine soft tissue approximation, it enables smooth passage with minimal tissue trauma while eliciting minimal inflammatory response. The suture retains approximately 70% tensile strength at two weeks, ~50% at four weeks, and ~25% at six weeks, providing sustained wound support during early healing. Complete hydrolytic absorption occurs within 180–210 days. Ideal for delicate closures in gastrointestinal, pediatric cardiovascular, general, orthopedic, and geriatric surgery, and in patients with slower healing processes due to chronic illness.
Key Features:
-
Monofilament polydioxanone material – ensures smooth tissue passage with minimal trauma and inflammation.
-
Extended tensile strength retention – retains ~70% at 2 weeks, ~50% at 4 weeks, ~25% at 6 weeks.
-
Predictable hydrolytic absorption profile – fully absorbed in 180–210 days.
-
Low tissue reactivity – suitable for fragile or comorbid patients, including diabetics or those with chronic conditions.
-
Versatile surgical applications – optimal for soft tissue, fascial, pediatric cardiovascular, and general surgical closures.
