In modern surgical practice, the choice of suture material can significantly impact healing outcomes and post-operative success. Among the many absorbable sutures available today, Polydioxanone (PDS) sutures stand out for their extended tensile strength and predictable absorption profile, making them ideal for long-term tissue support. One such reliable option is ORYL PD MONO®, a monofilament Polydioxanone suture manufactured by Orion Sutures—a trusted name in surgical solutions.
What Are Polydioxanone (PDS) Sutures?
PDS sutures are synthetic absorbable monofilament sutures made from the polymer polydioxanone. They are designed to maintain strength over a longer period compared to other absorbable sutures, while gradually breaking down in the body through hydrolysis. This makes them particularly suitable for internal tissues that take longer to heal.
ORYL PD MONO® by Orion Sutures is a premium PDS suture that meets international standards of strength, handling, and safety. It offers excellent knot security, smooth passage through tissues, and minimal tissue reaction.
Key Advantages of Monofilament PDS Sutures
1. Extended Tensile Strength
One of the major strengths of PDS sutures is their prolonged tensile strength. ORYL PD MONO® retains:
-
70% strength at 2 weeks
-
50% strength at 4 weeks
-
25% strength at 6 weeks
This long-lasting support is essential for tissues that require time to regain their natural strength, such as in fascia closures, abdominal surgeries, or orthopedic repairs.
2. Predictable Absorption Profile
ORYL PD MONO® sutures are fully absorbed within 180 to 210 days, providing enough time for healing without leaving any foreign body behind. The gradual absorption helps prevent inflammatory reactions or complications associated with premature suture loss.
3. Minimal Tissue Reaction
Being a monofilament, Polydioxanone sutures do not harbor bacteria, and their smooth surface reduces tissue drag. This minimizes the risk of infection and promotes faster recovery. Orion Sutures ensures that ORYL PD MONO® sutures are sterile, biocompatible, and easy to handle—key factors that surgeons appreciate.
4. Excellent Handling and Knot Security
Surgeons often prefer PDS sutures for their soft, pliable nature and reliable knot strength. ORYL PD MONO® delivers superior handling characteristics, making it easier to use in both open and laparoscopic procedures.
Clinical Applications of PDS Sutures
Polydioxanone sutures like ORYL PD MONO® are widely used in:
-
General Surgery: For closure of muscle and fascia layers.
-
Pediatric Surgery: Minimizing foreign body reaction in children.
-
Cardiovascular Surgery: When prolonged support is required.
-
Gynecological Procedures: For uterine and vaginal repairs.
-
Gastrointestinal Surgery: For anastomosis and tissue approximation.
