This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code PDP9624H, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation in animal health procedures requiring extended 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 4-0 diameter provides controlled tensile performance suitable for dermal and general soft tissue closure in companion animal surgery. The undyed monofilament construction ensures smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and reliable knot security during placement.

Each suture features a 70 cm strand length, supporting controlled handling within standard operative fields. Supplied with a PS PRIME™ MP reverse cutting needle (26 mm), this configuration positions the cutting edge on the outer curvature to reduce tissue cut-through while enhancing penetration through tougher or fibrous tissue. MULTIPASS® technology supports consistent needle performance across repeated tissue passes.

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 product is intended for professional veterinary and animal health surgical settings requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
