Ethicon PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Violet Absorbable Surgical Suture | USP 4-0 | 70 cm | BB Taper Point Needle | PDP9077H (Box of 36)

This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP9077H, is developed 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 4-0 diameter provides controlled tensile performance suitable for general soft tissue and subcutaneous closure where reliable knot security and smooth tissue passage are required. The monofilament structure minimises tissue drag and supports predictable handling characteristics.

Each suture is supplied with a 70 cm strand length, allowing flexibility and controlled placement in deeper or extended operative fields. The attached BB taper point needle is designed for atraumatic penetration of soft tissues, separating fibres rather than cutting them to support precise approximation and reduced tissue trauma.

With an extended absorption profile of approximately 182–238 days, PDS® Plus maintains tensile strength throughout the critical wound 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 settings requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
