Explanation

"Loop PDS" refers to a type of surgical suture, a material used to close wounds or surgical incisions. The term "loop" indicates that the suture is pre-formed into a loop shape, while "PDS" is an abbreviation for "polydioxanone," the synthetic material from which the suture is made. This type of suture is often used in surgeries because it is strong, flexible, and dissolves over time, eliminating the need for removal.
