Frequently Asked Questions About DesmoPol
What is polydioxanone (PDO) suture?
Polydioxanone (PDO) is a synthetic absorbable monofilament polymer that provides long-term wound support. DesmoPol PDO sutures retain 75% tensile strength at the 2nd week and 60% at the 4th week, with complete absorption in 180-210 days.
What is DesmoPol used for?
DesmoPol is used where long-term support is needed — fascia, rectum and colon, esophageal, pediatric cardiovascular, tendon and meniscus, cesarean, anal sphincter, and urinary tract wall closure, including in cancer, diabetic, and obese patients. Its monofilament structure also makes it an optimum suture for the loop technique.
