VENACRYL PDO
Polydioxanone, a polymer made from polyester poly (p-dioxanone)
Type: Monofilament
Composition: Polydioxanone, a polymer made from polyester poly (p-dioxanone)
Coating: None
Colour: Violet
Tissue reaction: Minimal
Absorption: The hydrolytic action by which the material is broken down results in total absorption in approximately 180 to 210 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remain after 42 days.
