Ethicon Stratafix #1 PDS Plus Unidirectional Suture

Consistency, security and efficiency - With significantly more points of fixation than traditional sutures, STRATAFIX Knotless Tissue Control Devices give surgeons more consistent tension control over every pass, and combine the strength and security of interrupted closure with more efficiency than continuous closure. STRATAFIX Spiral Knotless Tissue Control Devices - Bidirectional devices appropriate for several closure techniques. The unique anchor designs provide multiple points of fixation along the suture, allowing tension on the suture to be maintained during closure. There is no need for an assistant to follow the suture so closure is more efficient than continuous suturing with traditional sutures. With equal strength and security, STRATAFIX Devices can close wounds substantially faster than using an interrupted technique. STRATAFIX Knotless Tissue Control Devices are available in short-term, long-term, and nonabsorbable polymers in a portfolio of sizes and lengths, with multiple needle types, to address the needs of multiple procedures, including open, laparoscopic, and robotic. STRATAFIX Spiral PGA-PCL Knotless Tissue Control Device - Strength and support to maintain tension for 1-2 weeks. Absorbs in 90-120 days STRATAFIX Spiral PDO Knotless Tissue Control Device - Strength and support to maintain tension for 4-6 weeks. Absorbs in 120-180 days STRATAFIX Spiral Polypropylene Knotless Tissue Control Device - Permanent strength and support to maintain tension.
