This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP9865H, is engineered for precise soft tissue approximation in health procedures requiring prolonged tensile strength and antimicrobial protection. Manufactured from synthetic absorbable polydioxanone monofilament, PDS® Plus incorporates triclosan antibacterial technology to support infection risk management within surgical environments.

The USP 5-0 diameter provides fine tensile control suitable for delicate dermal and general soft tissue closure in companion surgery. The undyed monofilament construction ensures smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and reliable knot security during placement.

Each suture features a 45 cm strand length for controlled handling in smaller operative fields. It is supplied with a 16 mm PC-3 PRIME™ MP conventional cutting needle, designed to provide precise skin penetration and consistent performance. MULTIPASS® technology supports sustained needle sharpness and smooth passage across repeated tissue passes, enhancing control during detailed closure work.

With an extended absorption profile of approximately 182–238 days, PDS® Plus maintains tensile strength throughout the critical healing phase before gradual hydrolytic absorption. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this configuration is intended for professional and health surgical settings requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
