Product Description

Ethicon STRATAFIX SYMMETRIC PDS Plus is an antibacterial absorbable monofilament surgical suture manufactured from polydioxanone (PDS) and coated with triclosan (Plus Technology) to inhibit bacterial colonisation along the suture surface.

The SYMMETRIC configuration features evenly spaced bidirectional barbs along the suture body, enabling secure tissue approximation without knot tying. This knotless design supports uniform tension distribution and controlled wound closure.

This USP 2-0 variant measures 23 cm in length and is supplied with a 26 mm 1/2 circle taper point needle, engineered for smooth penetration through soft tissue while minimising trauma.

PDS Plus delivers extended tensile strength retention with predictable absorption, making it suitable for procedures requiring sustained wound support.

Each suture is sterile, single use and supplied in boxes of 12 for professional surgical environments.
