Ethicon Stratafix Symmetric Suture 1-0 - SXPP1A205 Pack of 12

The Ethicon Stratafix Symmetric PDS Plus Suture 1-0 (Code: SXPP1A205) is an advanced, absorbable, barbed monofilament suture designed for efficient and secure soft tissue approximation. This innovative knotless tissue control device is constructed from polydioxanone (PDS) and incorporates IRGACARE® MP (triclosan), a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent, to help reduce the risk of surgical site infections (SSIs). [1, 2, 8, 11]

Featuring a unique design with unidirectional anchors and a fixation tab, the Stratafix Symmetric PDS Plus Suture eliminates the need for traditional knot-tying, streamlining the closure process. This design allows for consistent tension control across the suture line, providing superior tissue-holding strength compared to conventional suturing techniques. [2, 7, 8, 12]

Indicated for general soft tissue approximation where an absorbable suture is appropriate, including high-tension areas such as fascia, this device is suitable for a wide range of open, laparoscopic, and robotic procedures. Its use has been associated with reduced operating room time and enhanced resource efficiency in various surgical specialties. [1, 2, 6, 7, 16]
