PDO (Polydioxanone) 3-0, 17mm, 1/2 Taper Point, 75cm, 12 Count, is a synthetic, absorbable monofilament suture manufactured by Innovative Sutures, LLC and positioned as comparable to PDS, a well-established polydioxanone suture standard trusted throughout veterinary surgery. This material is absorbed by the body over an extended 180 to 210 day duration, considerably longer than PGCL, making it well-suited for procedures requiring prolonged tensile support during slower-healing tissue repair. The smooth monofilament strand minimizes tissue drag and reduces bacterial wicking compared to braided alternatives. The smaller 17mm needle size makes this configuration well-suited to fine, delicate procedures, paired with a violet-colored 75cm length. Packaged 12 per box for veterinary surgical inventory.
