Oasis Vet PDO Surgical Suture 1/2 Reverse Cutting Needle 75cm Violet

Description

Product Overview

The Oasis Vet PDO Surgical Suture is engineered specifically for veterinary surgical applications where precision, reliability, and tissue compatibility are paramount. Constructed from high‑quality polydioxanone (PDO), this synthetic absorbable monofilament provides a smooth, consistent glide through animal tissue, reducing the risk of tearing or excessive drag. The suture is dyed violet, a strategic color choice that enhances visibility during procedures, allowing clinicians to track suture placement and knot integrity with ease. Each needle measures 75 cm in length with a 1/2 reverse cutting profile, offering a balance of strength and flexibility that supports secure knotting while minimizing tissue trauma. Packaged in boxes of 12, the product meets the rigorous standards expected in professional veterinary settings.

Usage

Designed for a broad range of veterinary surgeries—including soft tissue repair, orthopedic fixation, and delicate mucosal closures—this suture excels in environments where controlled absorption and sustained tensile strength are critical. The reverse cutting needle geometry enables effortless penetration of dense fascia and muscle layers, making it ideal for procedures on dogs, cats, equines, and small livestock. Because the suture retains approximately 50 % of its original tensile strength for up to six weeks, it provides a reliable support window during the crucial phases of wound healing. After this period, the material undergoes hydrolytic degradation, fully absorbing between 180 and 220 days, thereby eliminating the need for suture removal and reducing postoperative stress on the animal.

Why Choose Us

Oasis Vet stands for quality and consistency in veterinary medical supplies. Our PDO sutures are manufactured under strict ISO‑13485 guidelines, ensuring each batch meets exacting standards for sterility, tensile performance, and biocompatibility. The violet coloration is not merely aesthetic; it is a functional feature that improves intra‑operative visibility, especially in low‑light or deep‑cavity surgeries. Moreover, the reverse cutting needle design reduces the force required to advance the suture, decreasing operative time and animal discomfort. Each box includes 12 individually packaged needles, each sealed to preserve sterility until the moment of use. Our commitment to veterinary professionals extends beyond product delivery—we provide responsive technical support, detailed usage guidelines, and a responsive after‑sales service team ready to address any concerns.

FAQ

What types of animals are suitable for this suture?

The Oasis Vet PDO Surgical Suture is appropriate for companion animals such as dogs and cats, as well as larger species like horses, cattle, and exotic pets. Its strength profile and absorption timeline make it versatile across a wide range of surgical procedures.

How does the reverse cutting needle differ from a standard cutting needle?

A reverse cutting needle has the cutting edge on the inner curvature, which allows it to cut tissue while advancing with less force. This design minimizes tissue trauma and provides smoother passage, especially in dense or fibrous tissue.

Is the violet dye safe for all animal species?

Yes, the violet dye used in the suture is a medical‑grade, biocompatible colorant that has been tested for safety in veterinary applications. It does not interfere with the absorption process or cause adverse reactions.

Can this suture be used for internal organ repair?

Absolutely. The monofilament construction and controlled absorption rate make it suitable for internal organ suturing, where minimal tissue reaction and reliable strength retention are essential.

What is the recommended storage condition for the sutures?

Store the sutures in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The packaging is designed to maintain sterility up to the printed expiration date, provided the seal remains intact.
