DURAMESH
Duramesh is a non-absorbable polypropylene "mesh suture": a suture that is built like a tiny mesh tube so it behaves both as a suture and as a small piece of mesh to strengthen tissue closure
(Ethicon) PDS II 1-0 double loop
(Ethicon) PDS II 1-0 double loop suture with a 48 mm needle is a slowly absorbable, synthetic monofilament polydioxanone suture designed to provide prolonged tensile support for fascial and other soft-tissue closure where extended wound support is desired
