Description

PDS™ Plus VISI-BLACK suture material supports safe and efficient wound management in daily surgical practice. The monofilament polydioxanone ensures smooth tissue passage and offers excellent knot sliding properties with minimal suture memory, enabling precise and controlled handling even in demanding procedures. The IRGACARE® MP (triclosan) coating helps reduce bacterial colonisation and supports protection against common pathogens associated with postoperative wound infections, including MRSA and MRSE, contributing to improved procedural safety. With long-term tensile strength retention of up to 60% after 6 weeks, the material is suitable for procedures requiring extended wound support, such as abdominal wall closure, orthopaedic surgery or intestinal anastomoses. Complete absorption after approximately** 180 to 240 days** eliminates the need for suture removal and supports predictable healing. The One-step RELAY Zipper packaging enables fast and safe access to the suture material, reducing handling steps and lowering the risk of needlestick injuries. Clear labelling and colour coding support structured organisation in clinical workflows. The VISI-BLACK needle provides improved v
