GDT Surgical Polydioxanone PLX Sutures are absorbable monofilament sutures, composed of a synthetic homopolymer of polyester, poly (p-dioxanone).

GDT PLX Sutures retain 50% of their tensile strength - the longest period of wound support, as compared to other absorbable sutures, by the end of the 4th week and it's progressively absorbed in 180 days. Polydioxanone sutures retain about 70% of the initial tensile strength after 2 weeks, 50% of the initial tensile strength after 4 weeks, and 25% after 6 weeks of implantation.

Features:

Great knots security
Easy knot placement
Easy passage through tissues due to its monofilament structure
No tissue reactivity - it's one of the safest materials to be implanted in the body.
Unique tensile strength, great for soft tissue management and GTR
Excellent histocompatibility
Predictable absorption rate.
