This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP6261H, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation in procedures requiring extended tensile strength and antimicrobial protection. Manufactured from synthetic absorbable polydioxanone monofilament incorporating triclosan antibacterial technology, PDS® Plus ensures smooth tissue passage, predictable hydrolytic absorption and prolonged wound stability.

The antibacterial coating is designed to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture, supporting infection risk management in surgical environments. The USP 4-0 diameter provides balanced tensile performance suitable for soft tissue closure requiring secure approximation and reliable knot integrity.

The 90 cm strand length supports controlled placement and continuous suturing techniques. This suture is supplied with an RB-1 MULTIPASS® taperpoint needle (17 mm). The taperpoint configuration allows smooth penetration of soft tissue with minimal trauma, while MULTIPASS® technology and ETHALLOY construction enhance needle strength and performance during 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 surgical environments requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
