SUTURE I KRUUSE PD-X KRUUSE PD-X Monofilament: For smooth passage through tissue and high tissue compatibility Synthetic: Minimal tissue reaction Absorbable: By hydrolysis KRUUSE PD-X is a monofilament synthetic suture with a smooth surface that gives minimal tissue reaction and decreased incidence of infection and trauma. KRUUSE PD-X meets all the requirements established by the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) and the US Pharmacopoeia (USP) for Synthetic Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Sutures. Absorption: Absorbable: n Complete mass absorption in approximately 180-210 days n Absorption by hydrolysis Chemical composition: n KRUUSE PD-X is a slowly absorbable synthetic monofilament suture, and the material is composed of Polydioxanone (PDO) Tensile Strength: n 75 % remains after 14 days n 60 % remains after 28 days n Complete mass absorption in approximately 180-210 days Colour: Violet n Indications: KRUUSE PD-X is commonly used in soft tissues and ligation where absorbable sutures are indicated, including: n Abdominal wall closure n GI-surgery n Fascia and ligaments n Tendon repair n Hernias n Orthopaedics n Vascular surgery Range: n USP 5-0 to 2 n EP 1 to 5 Features and benefits n n n n Monofilament suture Long absorption time - tensile strength: 75% after 2 weeks Suitable for tissues with longer healing time Recommended to use in fibrous tissues such as fascias, joint capsulas, ligaments and tendons www.kruuse.com KRUUSE© 06/2016 · 19453
