The Ethicon Endoloop PDS II Suture is a pre-tied ligature loop used for soft tissue ligation during laparoscopic procedures, including closure of the appendiceal stump. It consists of a violet monofilament PDS (polydioxanone) suture, size 0, 45cm in length, formed into a pre-tied loop with a snap-and-pull tightening mechanism. As an absorbable synthetic suture, PDS material is designed to provide predictable tensile strength while gradually absorbing over time.
Key Features and Benefits
- Pre-tied ligature loop: Enables ligation without additional knot-tying during laparoscopic procedures
- Absorbable PDS (polydioxanone) material: Designed to provide predictable tensile strength as the suture gradually absorbs
- Monofilament construction: Smooth passage through tissue during placement
- Snap-and-pull tightening mechanism: Simplifies loop tightening and knot security
- Violet colouration: Supports visualisation of the suture during the procedure
