The CP Medical Mono-Dox® Monofilament PDO Synthetic Absorbable Sutures with Softcut Needles, 1/2 Circle, are sterile surgical sutures used in soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including pediatric cardiovascular and ophthalmic procedures.
Made of polyester, poly(p-dioxanone), Mono-Dox® sutures exhibit excellent holding strength and handling, good knot security, and suppleness. They are also non-wicking, which prevents bacterial migration along the suture line. Polydioxanone sutures are best utilised when the combination of an absorbable suture and extended wound support is needed. Being absorbable, these sutures are not indicated for use in conjunction with prosthetic devices, or in adult cardiovascular tissue, microsurgery, and neural tissue. Mono-Dox® sutures are equivalent to Ethicon® PDS II™. Absorption is essentially complete within 180 days.
Mono-Dox® sutures are dyed in FDA-approved D&C violet no. 2 color. This helps in better visibility during surgical procedures. Size 2-0 is used for closure of muscle layers or bowel repair. They also feature softcut needles, with a cutting edge that transitions to a round body. This prevents tearing of the suture site while being able to pass easily through tough tissue. Softcut needles are best used on fascia, periosteum, tendons, or specific cardiovascular procedures. Available in 12 per box. Proudly made in the USA.
