FEATURES OF PD SYNTH

Superior extended tensile strength
Allows smooth passage through tissue with minimal trauma
Provides wound support for longer periods
Slow and predictable absorption
Induces minimal inflammation
Available Loop suture in size 1 & 1-0
PD Synth is suitable for cases where extended wound support and strength are required for rectus sheath closure or fascia closure. Absorption of this suture is through simple hydrolysis. It retains about 70% of the initial tensile strength after 2 weeks, 50% after 4 weeks, 25% after 6 weeks and is absorbed in the tissue within 180 to 210 days from the time of implantation.

APPLICATIONS
Rectus sheath closure
Fascia closure and gastrointestinal tract
Pediatric cardiovascular surgery
Orthopedic surgery
Geriatric surgeries
General surgery
PD Synth can also be used on patients suffering from chronic ailments like cancer or diabetes where the healing period may be long.
