This PDS™ Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP9380H, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation in procedures requiring extended tensile strength and antimicrobial protection. Manufactured from synthetic absorbable polydioxanone monofilament, PDS™ Plus incorporates triclosan antibacterial technology to support infection risk management in surgical environments.

The USP 2-0 diameter provides enhanced tensile strength suitable for higher-tension closures and approximation of larger tissue structures. The monofilament construction ensures smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and reliable knot security during placement.

Each suture features a 70 cm strand length, supporting controlled handling within standard operative fields. Supplied with a V-34 needle, this configuration facilitates dependable penetration and accurate soft tissue approximation across a range of surgical applications.

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 hospital and surgical environments requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
