P.D.O (Polydioxanone)
Teb keyhan P.D.O is similar to the suture known as P.D.S. and is made of polydioxanone.
|
P.D.O (Polydioxanone)
Type
|
Monofilament
|
Composition
|
polyglecaprone 25, a copolymer made of 75% glycolide and 25% E-caprolactone
|
Coating
|
None
|
Colour
|
Beige
|
Tissue reaction
|
Minimal
|
Absorption
|
The hydrolytic action, by which the material is broken down, results in a total absorption in approximately 60 to 120 days. Approximately 60% of tensile strength remains after 7 days.

Description
Teb keyhan P.D.O is similar to the suture known as P.D.S. and is made of polydioxanone. It is a monofilament Synthetic absorbable suture. The absorption mechanism is a slow progressive hydrolysis which is minimal until approximately 90 days post-implantation and is complete with in 180 to 210 days. P.D.O has been found to be non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic and elicits only a slight tissue reaction during absorption. This suture has an excellent pliability, very high initial tensile strength and smooth tissue passage. It is available in violet color. P.D.O is sterilized by Ethylene Oxide. Available sizes are presented in the attached table.
