Polydioxanone sutures consist of synthetic absorbable monofilament threads made from poly(p-dioxanone) polymer, often configured with double-pointed needles for tissue approximation. These sutures are used for soft tissue approximation and coaptation across multiple surgical disciplines including plastic, dermatological, obstetric, gynaecological, urological, and gastrointestinal surgery, though they are contraindicated in cardiovascular, neurological, microsurgical, and ophthalmic applications.
