This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP1032H, is engineered for refined soft tissue approximation in procedures requiring extended tensile strength and antimicrobial protection. Manufactured from synthetic absorbable polydioxanone monofilament, PDS® Plus provides smooth tissue passage, predictable hydrolytic absorption and prolonged wound stability.

Incorporating antibacterial technology, PDS® Plus is designed to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture, supporting infection risk management in surgical environments. The USP 6-0 diameter delivers delicate tensile performance suitable for fine soft tissue layers requiring secure approximation and precise handling.

The 70 cm strand length supports controlled placement and meticulous suturing techniques in delicate operative fields. This suture is supplied with a CC-1 tapercut micro point needle. The tapercut micro point configuration combines a tapered body with a fine cutting tip, enabling controlled penetration of dense or fibrous tissue while minimising trauma.

With an extended absorption profile, 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.
