Description

Polydioxanone is a synthetic absorbable monofilament suture made of Polydioxanone and coated with Polydioxanone polymer which render the thread non pyrogenic and non antigenic, extremely soft and knot safe. Polydioxanone is the longest lasting absorbable monofilament suture, indicated for use where growth is expected.
