EZ10G ENDOLOOP Ligature made from PDSII 0 18" 12 (polydioxanone) Suture

The ENDOLOOP Ligature consists of a plastic tube that is narrowed at one end and scored at the other. An 18" suture is inserted into the tube, protrudes from the narrowed end, and is formed into a ligature loop with a knot that becomes secure after the device is activated. The opposite end of the suture is fastened to the scored end of the tube. The scored end acts as the handle and is marked with colored tape.

Features include:

• PDS® II (polydioxanone) Monofilament Synthetic Absorbable Suture – non-antigenic,non-pyrogenic, elicits only a slight tissue reaction during absorption. (Empirical formula: (C₄H₆O₃)x)
• PDS II Sutures are U.S.P. except for diameter

Procedure applications:

All types of soft tissue approximation, including use in pediatric cardiovascular tissue, where growth is expected to occur, and ophthalmic surgery. PDS II Suture is not indicated for adult cardiovascular tissue, microsurgery and neural tissue. These sutures are particularly useful where the combination of an absorbable suture and extended wound support (up to six weeks) is desirable.

-Outstanding pliability and long-lasting monofilament wound support make this absorbable suture a good choice for use in most types of soft tissue approximation. It consists of an 18"-long polydioxanone II ligature inserted into a plastic tube that is narrow at one end and scored at the other. The size 0-0 suture protrudes from the narrow end and is formed in a ligature loop with a knot that becomes secure after the device is activated. The opposite end of the suture is fastened to the scored end, which acts as the handle. 12 ligatures per box.
