Neoxone - PDS

NEOXONE® PDS, is a sterile, synthetic and absorbable monofilament surgical suture material obtained by polymerization of the p-dioxanone monomer. It is dyed in FDA approved (D&C Violet No.2) to make it easily distinguishable. NEOXONE® PDS retains approximately 70% - 80% of its initial tensile strength on 14 day post implantation and 50% - 60% of its initial tensile strength by the 28th day. It provides effective wound support for up to 8-9 weeks. Absorption is minimal in the first 90 days and in normal perfusion of tissues, NEOXONE® PDS\’s absorption is completed between 180 - 210 days.
