ObjectiveTo summarize ways and advantages of applying polydioxanone (PDO) material in surgical field.MethodThe literatures related to the application of PDO materials in the surgery were reviewed and summarized.ResultsThe current researches showed that the PDO material could be used as the stent, carrier, suture, vena cava filters, and hemostatic clips in the surgical field, and its effect was superior to the traditional material products.ConclusionsGood biological properties of PDO materials make them suitable for use in surgical field. Despite it has outstanding advantages, its drawbacks cannot be ignored. PDO materials are currently limited in application and further research is needed to assess its true clinical feasibility, safety, and efficacy.
