DURACRYL - PDS SUTURE

Duracryl is the brand name of polydioxanone sutures manufactured by Dolphin Sutures. Polydioxanone suture is a sterile monofilament synthetic absorbable suture composed of the polyester, poly (p-dioxanone).

Polydioxanone suture provides wound support for longer period as compared to other synthetic absorbable sutures. Polydioxanone suture also offers far superior tensile strength. Polydioxanone suture is made from polymerizing para dioxanone monomer. PDS sutures provide wound support for longer periods up to 50 days and offers far superior tensile strength and outstanding pliability. Its monofilament structure provides good handling properties and excellent knot security. Absorption of suture is by simple hydrolysis within 180 days from implantation day. Absorption of polydioxanone suture is reliable and predictable.

PDS sutures are ideal for use in general orthopaedic surgery, sub cuticular, gastro intestinal tract, paediatric cardiovascular surgery, sheath closure and general surgery. PDS sutures also cause minimal tissue reaction. Polydioxanone suture is available in violet colour.

  • Features

    • Polydioxanone suture is a synthetic, monofilament absorbable suture.
    • Polydioxanone sutures are available from U.S.P. size 2 to size 6-0. Sutures are available in violet colour.
    • Polydioxanone sutures are composed of polymers made from 100% homopolymer of polydioxanone.
    • Polydioxanone sutures absorb by simple hydrolytic mechanism and absorption is predictable.
    • Polydioxanone sutures retain about 70% of the initial tensile strength after 2 weeks, 50% of the initial tensile strength after 4 weeks and 25% after 6 weeks of implantation and the suture is essentially absorbed within 180 days.
  • Advantages

    • Duracryl sutures pass through tissue easily causing very little trauma.
    • Duracryl sutures have good knot security and it has easy knot placement.
    • Duracryl sutures have the highest tensile strength compared to any other synthetic absorbable sutures and it is absorbed over a longer period of time hence can be used where long term tissue approximation is required.
    • Duracryl sutures are available with needles made from 300 series alloy steel for superior strength, sharpness and performance.
