This STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDS™ Plus Antibacterial Suture, product code SXPP1B414, is designed for unidirectional 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 2-0 diameter provides dependable tensile strength suitable for moderate to higher-tension soft tissue and fascial approximation. 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 70 cm strand per pack, offering extended working length for deeper layers and longer incisions. Fitted with a 26 mm CT-2 taper point needle manufactured from 420 stainless steel alloy, this configuration supports smooth atraumatic penetration through soft tissue while maintaining secure engagement.

STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDS™ Plus is absorbable via hydrolysis, delivering extended tensile retention with an absorption profile of 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.
