This PDS™ Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP9237T, is engineered for delicate soft tissue approximation in procedures requiring extended strand length, 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 10-0 diameter provides ultra-fine tensile control suitable for microsurgical and highly delicate tissue applications where precision and minimal tissue trauma are essential. The monofilament structure ensures smooth tissue passage and reduced tissue drag.

Featuring an extended 150 cm strand length, this configuration supports continuous suturing techniques and procedures requiring substantial material without interruption. Supplied with an MO-2 needle, this variant enables refined penetration and accurate tissue approximation in fine operative fields.

With an 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 24, this product is intended for professional hospital and specialist surgical settings requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
