Endoloop Ligature, PDS II, Violet Monofilament, Polydioxanone Suture

Part No.: EZ10G

Packaging: Box Contains 12 Pieces

Manufacturer: Ethicon

Country of Origin: USA

The ENDOLOOP™ Ligature by ETHICON® is a pre-formed, sterile, synthetic absorbable loop suture system engineered for secure and efficient ligation in a wide range of surgical procedures. It is constructed from a monofilament PDS® II (Polydioxanone) suture, which is renowned for providing reliable, long-lasting wound support. This integrated device combines a ready-to-use, slip-proof loop with an ergonomic delivery mechanism, facilitating precise tissue approximation and vessel occlusion. Its distinct violet color enhances visibility in the surgical field, while the monofilament structure is designed to minimize tissue drag and reaction. The suture is particularly indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation, including paediatric cardiovascular tissue, ophthalmic surgery, and microsurgery, where its extended support profile is beneficial.

Features:

• Advanced Monofilament Material: Composed of PDS® II, a high-purity polydioxanone suture, offering exceptional smoothness for minimal tissue resistance and reduced potential for biofilm adherence.
• Pre-Formed Slip-Proof Loop: Integrates a single strand of suture into a secure, pre-tied loop that tightens reliably upon activation, ensuring consistent and dependable ligation without premature loosening.
• Extended Wound Support: Provides sustained tensile strength, retaining approximately 50% of its original strength at 4 weeks post-implantation, and is fully absorbed by hydrolysis within 180-210 days.
• Ergonomic Delivery System: The suture is pre-loaded in a single-use applicator tube designed for precise control, featuring a textured handle for secure grip and a tapered end for guided loop placement.
• Superior Handling Characteristics: The monofilament design offers excellent pliability and high knot tensile strength, contributing to superior knot security compared to other synthetic absorbable sutures.
• Enhanced Surgical Visibility: The uniform violet coloration ensures clear contrast against anatomical structures, aiding in accurate placement and procedural efficiency.
• Broad Clinical Indications: Specifically indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including use in paediatric cardiovascular tissue, ophthalmic surgery, and microsurgical procedures.
