Oasis Vet PDO Surgical Suture 2-0 Needle 75cm Violet 12/Box

Description

Product Overview

The Oasis Vet PDO Surgical Suture is engineered for veterinary surgeons who demand precision, reliability, and biocompatibility in every procedure. Constructed from high‑grade polydioxanone, this synthetic absorbable monofilament offers a smooth, consistent glide through soft tissue, reducing drag and minimizing trauma. The violet coloration enhances visibility, allowing clinicians to track suture placement accurately, especially in deep or obscured surgical sites. Each package contains twelve 75 cm needles, each fitted with a reverse cutting tip that facilitates easy entry and secure knotting while preserving tissue integrity. The 2‑0 (CP‑1) size strikes a balance between tensile strength and flexibility, making it suitable for a wide range of animal surgeries, from delicate ophthalmic work to robust abdominal closures.

Usage

Veterinary professionals rely on this suture for procedures that require dependable wound support and predictable absorption. Ideal applications include spay and neuter surgeries, soft tissue repairs, orthopedic fixation, and reconstructive work on companion animals and livestock alike. The suture retains approximately 50 % of its original tensile strength for up to six weeks, providing a critical window for tissue healing before gradual loss of strength. After the healing phase, hydrolytic degradation begins, and the material is fully absorbed within 180‑220 days, eliminating the need for suture removal and reducing postoperative stress for both animal and caregiver.

Why Choose Us

Choosing Oasis Vet means selecting a partner committed to quality, safety, and performance. Our PDO sutures undergo rigorous testing to meet veterinary standards, ensuring consistent diameter, knot security, and predictable absorption rates. The monofilament design eliminates capillary action, reducing bacterial wicking and infection risk. Each needle is precision‑manufactured to meet exacting tolerances, guaranteeing a uniform bite and smooth passage through tissue. The violet hue is not merely aesthetic; it serves a functional purpose by improving suture visibility, which translates to faster procedures and reduced operative time. Additionally, our packaging includes clear labeling and sterile barrier protection, supporting efficient inventory management in busy clinic environments.

FAQ

What size is the needle and how does it affect handling?

The needle is a 2‑0 (CP‑1) reverse cutting type, measuring 36‑37 mm in length. This size offers a balance of strength and flexibility, allowing precise placement in both small and medium‑sized animal patients while providing enough rigidity for secure knot tying.

How long does the suture retain its tensile strength?

Our PDO suture maintains roughly 50 % of its original tensile strength for up to six weeks post‑implantation. This period aligns with the critical phase of tissue regeneration, ensuring the wound remains supported while the animal recovers.

Is the violet color safe for all animal species?

Yes. The violet dye used is a medical‑grade, biocompatible colorant that does not interfere with the absorption process or cause adverse reactions. It simply improves visual contrast for the surgeon.

Can this suture be used for orthopedic procedures?

Absolutely. The combination of high tensile strength, smooth monofilament texture, and reliable absorption makes it suitable for orthopedic repairs, ligament reconstructions, and other load‑bearing applications in veterinary orthopedics.
