AD Surgical UNIFY Polydioxanone (PDO) Sutures. Monofilament Violet. Box of 12 packs. UNIFY Polydioxanone sutures, better known as PDO, is a monofilament synthetic absorbable surgical suture. It is non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic, and elicits minimal tissue reactivity during the absorption process. PDO is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation, including use in pediatric cardiovascular and ophthalmic procedures. Polydioxanone suture is not indicated in adult cardiovascular tissue, microsurgery, and neural tissue. This suture is particularly useful when the combination of an absorbable suture and extended wound support (up to six weeks) is desirable. Each box contains 12 individually sterilized foil packs of sutures and one instruction sheet. The suture is sterilized with ethylene oxide (EO) gas and normally will have 1-3 years of shelf life Our UNIFY Sutures are compatible to the quality of Ethicon Sutures, but at a fraction of their prices. UNIFY Surgical sutures are manufactured in our own contracted manufacturing facilities and have been selling factory-direct in the US market for over 8 years.
