This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Loop Surgical Suture, product code PDP9261T, is engineered for high-strength soft tissue approximation in procedures requiring extended strand length, loop configuration 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 0 diameter provides substantial tensile strength suitable for fascia, muscle and other higher-tension closures. The monofilament structure enables smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and dependable knot security.

Featuring a 150 cm loop configuration, this variant supports efficient continuous closure techniques and even tension distribution across extended incisions. Supplied with a CTX taper point needle (48 mm) manufactured from 420 alloy, the needle is designed for strength and reliable penetration. The taper point design separates tissue fibres rather than cutting them, promoting atraumatic approximation of soft tissue layers.

With an extended absorption profile of approximately 182–238 days, PDS® Plus maintains tensile strength throughout the critical wound healing phase before gradual hydrolytic absorption. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 24, this product is intended for professional hospital and surgical environments requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
