This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code PDP9631H, 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, subcutaneous layers and general soft tissue closure in companion and larger animal surgery. The undyed monofilament construction enables smooth tissue passage, minimal drag and dependable knot security during placement.

Each suture features a 70 cm strand length for controlled handling within standard operative fields. Supplied with a PCLX PRIME conventional cutting needle (36 mm), this larger needle configuration supports effective penetration through skin and tougher tissue layers. The cutting edge on the inner curvature facilitates precise tissue entry and controlled advancement during closure.

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