Surgical Specialties Corporation VLP-2001 PDO Suture Reverse

The Surgical Specialties Corporation VLP-2001 PDO Suture is a high-quality, absorbable surgical suture designed for use in a variety of clinical settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and surgical centers. This reverse cutting, unidirectional suture is particularly useful for surgeons who require a reliable and absorbable material for soft tissue approximation and/or ligation. The standout benefit of this suture is its unique combination of strength, durability, and absorbability, making it an ideal choice for a range of surgical procedures.

Overview: The VLP-2001 PDO Suture is intended for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation. It is composed of polydioxanone (PDO), a synthetic, absorbable monofilament material that provides excellent tensile strength and knot security. The suture's reverse cutting, unidirectional design allows for easy tissue passage and minimal irritation, while its 3/8 circle, 19mm needle enables smooth, consistent penetration.
