JOST - PDO Barbed (Polydioxanone Barbed) Surgical Sutures

• Material: Polydioxanone
• Color: violet, undyed
• Available in diameters 4/0-1, cut in different lengths
• Sterilized: ethylene oxide
• Depending on the diameter of the suture and surgical branch, sutures are combined with standard or special needles of different types and sizes.

Advantages:

JOST PDO Barbed has high stretch-resistance during the critical wound healing period. Two types with unidirectional or bidirectional barbs.

Performance:

• Unidirectional barbes are with an attached needle on one side and an loop on the other
• Bidirectional barbes have attached needles on both sides of the thread
• Absorption is complete after ≈180 to 210 days, through hydrolysis of the suture to carbon dioxide and water which are metabolized.
