Polydox monofil violet Loop 5EP, HRX 50/1x1.5 m (DX 4550)

Polydox is an absorbable, synthetic suture monofilament, made of p-Polydioxanon with excellent handling properties. The threads are available violet coloured. In tissue the thread indicates a slight initial inflammatory reaction. The Polydox threads are slowly degraded in the body by a simple hydrolytic process. Implantation studies show, that after 6 weeks the thread retains appr. 50 % of its origin tensile strength. The degraded products are completely metabolised by the body after 180-210 days. Indication: Sterile Polydox is designed for the use in general soft tissue approximation. These sutures are particularly useful where the combination of an absorbable and extended wound support is desirable (fasciae, orthopedics, vascular anastomosis).
