Pdo barbed knotless barbed surgical suture Bi/Uni-directonal absorbable knotless barbed PDO suture

PDO barbed suture is a knotless wound closure device composed of synthetic absorbable monofilament polydioxanone. Barbs are designed and arranged in a spiral manner on the surface at an angle of 72°.

This ensures excellent wound closure by virtue of unique combination of security and speed thereby increasing efficiency and shortening the time

for wound closure.

Key Features

• Wound closure is faster as the time is saved for knotting and it is easy for the surgeons than conventional sutures.
• Better cosmetic results,patient comfort.
• Eliminates the chance of suture knot breakage,avoids the need of consistently monitoring the tension of the suture.

PDO barbed suture is a special type of suture material used for surgical purposes. It is commonly employed in various surgical procedures for the following purposes:

• Skin Closure: PDO barbed suture is utilized for suturing skin incisions in plastic surgery, skin repairs, and other cases requiring external wound closure to promote wound healing.
• Deep Tissue Repair: In situations necessitating the repair of deep tissues such as muscles, fascia, etc., PDO barbed suture is employed to securely suture tissues, restoring tissue structure and function.
• Plastic Surgery: In cosmetic surgeries, PDO barbed suture can be used for suturing tissues to help sculpt the appearance and achieve aesthetic outcomes.
• Abdominal Wall Repair: Used in abdominal surgeries like hernia repairs, PDO barbed suture provides strong suturing effects to support tissue healing.
• Soft Tissue Repair: In cases of soft tissue injuries or tears, PDO barbed suture is employed for suturing damaged tissues, restoring tissue integrity.

In summary, PDO barbed suture has a wide range of applications in surgical procedures, suitable for suturing various tissues and areas that require closure, providing reliable suture effects, promoting healing, and reducing post-operative complications.

1.What is barbed suture used for?
Barbed sutures are used in reconstructive and plastic surgeries since they help surgeons with effective and faster dermal approximation and enable better tissue adherence and support both during and after the procedure.

2.What is a PDO suture?
It's a synthetic absorbable surgical suture composed of polydioxanone. PDO sutures are used to perform cardiothoracic surgery (such as open-heart surgery). It's one of the safest materials to be implanted in the body.

3.How do you remove barbed sutures?
The suture should be cut at the unbarbed midsegment. In this way, tension from the opposing barbs is released. Either 1 or both suture halves can then be removed by pulling gently from the lateral ends. Sutures that have been inadvertently placed with excess tension can be removed in a similar fashion.

4.Are PDO threads barbed?
PDO, which stands for Polydioxanone, is a biocompatible and absorbable material used in medical procedures for years. PDO smooth threads are typically thinner and smoother than their barbed counterparts.
