The CP Medical Mono-Dox® Monofilament PDO Synthetic Absorbable Sutures with Taper Point 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. They are available in various sizes. Size 0 and 1 are used for closure of the fascia layer in abdominal surgery, or for knee, hip and back surgery; sizes 2-0 and 3-0 are for closure of muscle layers or bowel repair, and size 4-0 is used for larger vessel repair. They also feature reverse cutting needles, which are strong and sharp, with a reduced risk of cutout. Ideal for tough skin and tissue. Available in 12 per box. Proudly made in the USA.
