This PDS™ Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP9965H, is engineered for precise soft tissue approximation in 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 surgical environments.

The USP 10-0 diameter provides extremely fine tensile control suitable for microsurgical and delicate tissue applications. The violet monofilament construction enhances intraoperative visibility while maintaining smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and secure knot performance.

Each suture features a 90 cm strand length, offering extended working length for specialised surgical fields. Supplied with a BT-3 needle, this configuration supports accurate needle placement and controlled tissue penetration in fine anatomical structures where precision is essential.

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 surgical settings requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
