This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP9950H, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation in 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 in surgical environments.

The USP 4-0 diameter provides controlled tensile performance suitable for dermal and general soft tissue closure. 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, supporting effective handling within standard operative fields. Supplied with an FS-2 reverse cutting needle, this configuration positions the cutting edge on the outer curvature to reduce the risk of tissue cut-through while delivering precise penetration through skin and tougher tissue layers.

With an extended absorption profile of approximately 182–238 days, PDS® Plus maintains tensile strength during the critical healing phase 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.
