Ethicon STRATAFIX Symmetric PDS Plus Knotless Tissue Control Device - Absorbable Monofilament Barbed Surgical Sutures

The Ethicon STRATAFIX™ Symmetric PDS™ Plus Knotless Tissue Control Device range from Ethicon is designed to deliver secure, knotless wound closure with consistent tissue approximation and reduced operative time.

Manufactured from absorbable polydioxanone (PDS) and featuring a symmetrical barbed design, STRATAFIX Symmetric PDS Plus devices evenly distribute tension along the wound, eliminating the need for knot tying. The monofilament construction allows smooth tissue passage with minimal tissue trauma, while the triclosan antibacterial coating is intended to reduce bacterial colonisation at the suture line during the critical healing period.

STRATAFIX Symmetric PDS Plus devices provide extended wound support and predictable absorption, making them suitable for procedures requiring long-term absorbable closure. Common applications include general surgery, abdominal closure, gynaecological procedures and soft tissue approximation where efficient, secure tissue control is essential.

Supplied sterile and single-use, this department includes a range of sizes and needle configurations suitable for hospitals, operating theatres and specialist surgical environments seeking advanced knotless closure solutions.
