This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP9626H, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation in procedures requiring extended wound support 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 2-0 diameter provides enhanced tensile strength suitable for fascia, subcutaneous layers and general soft tissue closure where prolonged support is required. The undyed monofilament construction enables smooth tissue passage, reduced drag and consistent knot security during placement.

Each suture features a 70 cm strand length, supporting effective handling across a wide range of operative fields. Supplied with a PS PRIME™ reverse cutting needle, the cutting edge is positioned on the outer curvature to reduce the risk of tissue cut-through while maintaining precise penetration through tougher tissue layers.

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