Brief Summary

Title :A prospective, single-arm, multi-centre, observational, post marketing surveillance study to evaluate the safety and performance of PINION™ PDO Knotless Suture in real-world settings

 Short Title PINION PDO PMS 

Study device PINION PDO Absorbable Poly Knotless Suture

 Indication PINION PDO Knotless Suture is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation where absorbable sutures use is appropriate. 

Objective This study aims to evaluate the safety and performance of PINION PDO Knotless sutures in real-world settings. 
 To evaluate the suture’s ability to significantly reduce surgical time. 
 Minimize blood loss during procedures 
 Decrease overall surgical difficulty. 
 Uniform tension across the wound.

 Study Design A prospective, single-arm, multi-centre, observational, postmarketing surveillance study 

Rationale of the Study Knotless sutures are of fundamental importance in surgical outcomes. PINION™ PDO Knotless Suture contains bidirectional oriented barbs to anchor tissues and does not require knots to approximate opposing edges of a wound. Tying knots on the barbed section of the material will damage the barbs and potentially reduce the suture tensile strength and barb effectiveness. Hence, the present study is to evaluate the safety and performance of a sterile, synthetic, absorbable monofilament suture comprised of Poly  in the fixation of soft tissue
