This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP9115H, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation in health procedures requiring extended tensile strength and antimicrobial protection. Manufactured from synthetic absorbable polydioxanone monofilament, PDS® Plus incorporates triclosan antibacterial technology to support infection risk management in surgical environments.

The USP 4-0 diameter provides balanced tensile performance suitable for dermal and general soft tissue closure in companion surgery. The monofilament construction enables smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and consistent knot security.

Each suture features a 70 cm strand length, supporting controlled placement in standard operative fields. It is supplied with an SH-2 PLUS taper point needle (20 mm), designed for atraumatic soft tissue penetration. The TAPERPOINT PLUS geometry enhances penetration efficiency while maintaining tissue integrity during approximation.

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 product is intended for professional and health surgical settings requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
