WEGO-PDO Barbed Suture is indicated for soft tissue approximation where use of an absorbable suture is appropriate.

The propose device, WEGO-PDO Barbed Suture, is monofilament, absorbable surgical suture. It is intended for soft tissue approximation where use of an absorbable suture is appropriate. The proposed devices are provided sterile and single use. The proposed device is composed of suture with or without the needle. The sutures with no needle attachments are only available with bi-directional barbs of 7*7 cm, 10*10 cm, 24*24 cm and 30*30 cm, the diameter of which are USP 2-0, USP0, USP1 and USP2.
