Sharpoint Plus PDO Suture Range in USP sizes 5-0 to 3-0
The strand is polydioxanone, built as a monofilament suture, and the Surgical Specialties material guide rates it at 80 to 90 percent of its strength at 14 days, 60 to 82 percent at 28 days and 47 to 79 percent at 42 days. On absorption, the same guide records that mass absorption is essentially complete between 180 and 220 days, which is the profile to plan removal and follow-up around. The catalog lists this material for plastic surgery, orthopaedic, OB/Gyn and gastrointestinal work, and the Sharpoint Plus range answers that spread with 12 configurations in USP sizes 5-0 to 3-0. Needle choice drives much of the handling, and this page runs precision reverse cutting, reverse cutting, taper point needles across its lengths, each option labeled with its needle code and size. The range comes from the Sharpoint Plus line, which Surgical Specialties introduces in its catalog with a promise of excellence and value, and the manufacturer states its needles are made for consistent strength and durability through every pass.
Features and Benefits
Material Performance
- Documented Strength Profile – The manufacturer publishes the in vivo retention figures for PDO in its catalog material guide, so the working life is a specification, not an estimate.
- Monofilament Construction – Built monofilament in polydioxanone, the construction the catalog assigns to this material.
- Cross-Referenced Equivalent – The catalog cross-references this material to PDS II (Ethicon), so switching a preference card is a documented match.
Needles and Configurations
- Precision Reverse Cutting Needles – Precision reverse cutting needles carry a precision-honed triangular point with the cutting edge on the outer curvature, the geometry the catalog assigns to delicate work where the cosmetic result matters.
- Reverse Cutting Needles – Reverse cutting needles carry a triangular point with the cutting edge on the outer curvature, the geometry the catalog assigns to skin closure and to ligamentous or fibrous tissue.
- Full Range on One Page – 12 configurations in USP sizes 5-0 to 3-0 sit behind one dropdown, and every option is a real reference that ships as labeled.

Why Choose This PDO Suture
Plenty of suture ranges publish a size chart and stop there. This one publishes its retention and absorption figures in the manufacturer catalog, cross-references the material to the brand most preference cards already carry, and keeps 12 configurations behind a single page. That makes the switch a documentation exercise instead of a trial-and-error order.
- Published Performance, Not Promises – Retention and absorption for PDO are printed in the Surgical Specialties material guide, so the care team plans around documented behavior.
- Needles Built as Instruments – Sharpoint Plus needles are forged from a proprietary stainless steel alloy of iron, nickel and chromium, balanced for strength, ductility and hardness, which is where pass-after-pass consistency comes from.
- Documented Equivalents – The catalog cross-reference to PDS II (Ethicon) lets a facility match an existing preference card line for line, the differentiator when a contract changes brands.
- Exact Reordering – Every configuration carries its own Sharpoint Plus reference number, so the next order is a code match rather than a description match.
