This STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDS™ Plus Antibacterial Suture, product code SXPP1B455, is designed for knotless soft tissue closure where extended tensile retention and predictable long-term absorption are required. Manufactured from polydioxanone with triclosan antibacterial coating, this absorbable barbed suture helps inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture for up to 7 days.

The USP 0 diameter provides substantial tensile strength suitable for higher-tension soft tissue approximation and fascial closure. The violet monofilament construction enhances intraoperative visibility, while the unidirectional spiral barbed configuration distributes tension evenly along the wound without the need for knot tying.

Each suture is supplied as a single 9 inch (22 cm) strand per pack, offering practical working length for layered or deep tissue closure techniques. Supplied with a 36 mm CT-1 taper point needle, this configuration enables smooth, atraumatic penetration through soft tissue while maintaining controlled needle placement.

STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDS™ Plus is fully absorbable via hydrolysis, delivering extended tensile retention followed by gradual absorption over approximately 182–238 days. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring long-term absorbable antibacterial knotless wound closure.
