This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP924H, is engineered for dependable 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 4-0 diameter provides controlled tensile performance suitable for dermal and general soft tissue closure where smooth tissue passage and reliable knot security are essential. The monofilament structure reduces tissue drag and supports predictable handling characteristics.

Each suture features a 70 cm strand length, allowing controlled placement within standard operative fields. Supplied with a TF taper point needle, the taper point configuration separates tissue fibres rather than cutting them, promoting atraumatic penetration and accurate soft tissue approximation.

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 36, this product is intended for professional hospital and surgical environments requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
