Features
KRUUSE PD-X Plus Suture is a synthetic, absorbable, monofilament, sterile, surgical suture composed of polydioxanone. The suture contains chlorhexidine diacetate, a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent, at no more than 60μg/m.
The suture is available dyed violet.
Complete mass absorption in 180-220 days (approximate 75% of original tensile strength remains 14 days after implantation, 65% of original tensile strength remains 28 days after implantation, and 50% of original tensile strength remains 42 days after implantation).
Indications
KRUUSE PD-X Plus is commonly used in soft tissues and ligation where absorbable sutures are indicated, including:
■ Ductus ligation
■ Gynaecology and obstretics
■ GI surgery
■ Facia approximation
■ Joint capsula closure
■ Ligament ligation
■ Linia alba
■ Urological surgery
Contraindications
This suture, being absorbable, should not be used where prolonged (beyond 6 weeks) approximation of tissues under stress is required and is not to be used in conjunction with prosthetic devices, for example, heart valves or synthetic grafts.
KRUUSE PD-X Plus Suture should not be used in patients with known allergic reactions to chlorhexidine diacetate
