This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code PDP9715H, is designed for secure soft tissue approximation in animal health 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 veterinary surgical environments.

The USP 2-0 diameter provides enhanced tensile performance suitable for fascia, dermal and subcutaneous closure in companion and larger animal surgery. The undyed monofilament construction allows smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and dependable knot security during placement.

Each suture features a 70 cm strand length to support effective handling across wider operative fields. It is supplied with a 60 mm KS reverse cutting needle, designed with the cutting edge on the outer curvature to reduce tissue cut-through while ensuring controlled penetration through thicker or fibrous tissue layers commonly encountered in veterinary procedures.

With an extended absorption profile of approximately 182–238 days, PDS® Plus maintains 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 veterinary and animal health surgical settings requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
