The properties of PDS synthetic absorbale suture and catgut were compared. The velocity of absorbability and tension degradation were compared by implanting PDS absorbable suture and catgut. The strenght of PDS suture is similar to that of catgut of the same diameter. PDS was complete absorbed after 56 days, and the tension degradation also met the biological requirement better. Some properties (plasticity, stability of physical shape, surface smoothness) are better thanthe catgut available on the market.
