Surgicryl PDO Absorbable Suture Foil Pack

The Surgicryl PDO Absorbable Suture Foil Pack, supplied in a sterile foil pack with pre-attached needle, offers convenience, sterility, and performance in one ready-to-use unit. Ideal for clinical and surgical environments where efficiency and aseptic technique are paramount, this suture is trusted for both general and specialist procedures.

Made from polydioxanone, a synthetic polyester polymer (poly (p-dioxanone)), Surgicryl PDO is a monofilament suture designed to maintain tensile strength over an extended period. It offers minimal tissue reaction and smooth handling, making it particularly suitable for internal soft tissue closures and procedures requiring prolonged wound support.

Key features:

• Absorbable monofilament suture with pre-attached needle
• Supplied in sterile, single-use foil packs
• Composition: polydioxanone (poly (p-dioxanone))
• Coating: none
• Colour: violet for high visibility
• Minimal tissue response
• Absorption: complete in 180–210 days
• Tensile retention: ~50% at 42 days

Product Description:

Each foil pack contains a fully sterile, single-use suture and needle combination, eliminating the need for separate preparation or sterilisation. The pre-attached needle is precision-manufactured to match the suture size and application, allowing for safe, efficient placement with minimal tissue drag.

The suture is coloured violet to enhance visibility during surgery, especially in deep or low-light operative fields. Its uncoated monofilament structure reduces capillarity and minimises the risk of bacterial migration. Absorption occurs via hydrolysis, with approximately 50% tensile strength retained at 42 days and full absorption typically completed between 180 and 210 days.

This sterile foil-pack format supports infection control protocols and is ideal for operating theatres, clinics, and emergency use. Surgicryl PDO is available in a range of suture sizes and needle types to suit various surgical needs.
