Product Specifications

According to technical data from Ethicon, the PDP879G configuration includes: 

  • Size: 1.
  • Length: 54 inches (135 cm) or 27 inches (70 cm) depending on the specific distributor variant.
  • Needle Type: TP-1, 65mm, 1/2 Circle Taper Point.
  • Material: Violet Monofilament Polydioxanone.
  • Antibacterial Protection: Coated with IRGACARE® MP (Triclosan).
  • Quantity: Box of 12. 

     

Absorption and Tensile Strength

Performance data from ScienceDirect and Ethicon indicates:

  • Tensile Strength Retention: Retains approximately 74% of its original strength at 2 weeks, 50% at 4 weeks, and 25% at 6 weeks.
  • Full Absorption: Minimal absorption occurs until roughly 90 days, with complete mass loss typically between 182 and 238 days.
  • Benefits: It is preferred for tissues requiring long-term support (up to 6 weeks) and is shown in studies to reduce bacterial colonization by 99% compared to non-antibacterial sutures.
