LifSkin STERILE SINGLE USE ABSORBABLE POLYDIOXANONE MONO SUTURES WITH NEEDLE - Suture, polydioxanone

Intended purpose

This device is intended to fixate the sub dermal tissue in an elevated position in plastic and reconstructive surgery. These sutures are useful where the combination of an absorbable suture and extended wound support (up to 6 weeks) is desirable. The skin reacts to the PDO threads and an inflammatory reaction is induced resulting in collagen formation around each thread inserted into the skin.
