Ethicon PDS Plus Antibacterial Polydioxanone Suture Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Sutures

The Ethicon PDS Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Suture range from Ethicon consists of absorbable monofilament surgical sutures designed to provide extended wound support while helping to reduce bacterial colonisation at the suture line.

Manufactured from polydioxanone and coated with triclosan, PDS Plus sutures offer sustained tensile strength retention combined with antibacterial protection during the critical wound healing period. The monofilament construction allows smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and minimal tissue reaction, supporting reliable and predictable wound closure.

PDS Plus Antibacterial Sutures are commonly used in general surgery, abdominal closure, paediatric surgery, orthopaedics and soft tissue approximation where long-term absorbable support and infection risk reduction are clinically beneficial. Supplied sterile and single-use, this department includes a wide range of USP sizes and needle configurations suitable for hospitals, operating theatres and specialist surgical environments.
