PDO (Polydioxanone) 4-0, 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 fine 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 17mm needle size makes this the finest gauge in the PDO line, paired with a violet-colored 75cm length. Packaged 12 per box for veterinary surgical inventory.
