Definition

A single-strand (monofilament), synthetic, bioabsorbable thread made from polydioxanone (PDS), intended to join the edges of a soft-tissue wound or incision by stitching or to ligate soft tissues. The thread provides long term temporary wound support, until the wound sufficiently heals to withstand normal stress, and is subsequently absorbed by hydrolysis. It includes an attached disposable needle. This is a single-use device intended to be used in a sterile condition.​

  • thread: gauge number, length (cm), structure (monofilament)
  • needle: length (mm), curve (X/8) and point
