Ethicon SXPD2B419 3-0 STRATAFIX Spiral PDO 24cm FS BIDIRECTIONAL Box of 12

Ethicon STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDO | Size 3-0 | Bidirectional 24cm + 24cm | FS Needles | SXPD2B419

The Ethicon SXPD2B419 represents a significant advancement in wound closure, utilizing STRATAFIX™ Spiral knotless technology. Composed of Polydioxanone (PDO), this absorbable monofilament is engineered for tissues that require extended wound support. By utilizing a bidirectional barbed design, this suture allows for an even distribution of tension across the entire incision line, eliminating the "strangulation" points often created by traditional interrupted knots.

Equipped with dual FS (Fickling Small) reverse cutting needles, the SXPD2B419 is the clinical standard for deep dermal and fascia-level closures where high-tensile strength and procedural efficiency are paramount.

Technical & Clinical Advantages

• Knotless Security: The bidirectional spiral barbs anchor the suture firmly in the tissue, removing the need for a "tail" or securing knots. This reduces the total foreign body mass left in the wound, lowering the risk of suture spitting and palpability.

• Extended PDO Support: Polydioxanone offers one of the longest tensile strength profiles among absorbable sutures, maintaining approximately 80% strength at 2 weeks and 60% at 4 weeks. Full absorption typically occurs between 180 and 210 days.

• Dual FS Needle Efficiency: The 26mm FS needles are forged from high-strength stainless steel with a reverse cutting edge. This profile is ideal for penetrating tough dermis and fascia without "cut-out," allowing for a rapid, continuous "running" closure.

• Superior Tissue Apposition: By providing multiple points of fixation, STRATAFIX™ ensures that the wound edges are held in perfect alignment. This reduces dead space and promotes superior cosmetic results in high-tension areas like the back, knee, or abdomen.

• Streamlined OR Workflow: The "pop-and-go" nature of bidirectional barbed sutures significantly reduces the time spent on multi-layer closures, lowering total anesthesia time for the patient.

Applications

• Orthopedic Surgery: Robust closure of the joint capsule and deep fascia in total hip and knee arthroplasty.

• Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery: Long-incision closures for abdominoplasty, body contouring, or breast reconstruction.

• General Surgery: Fascia-level closure in laparotomy or hernia repairs requiring prolonged absorbable support.

• OB/GYN: Secure closure of the uterine incision or vaginal cuff where traditional knot-tying is ergonomically difficult.
