Manufactured from synthetic absorbable polydioxanone monofilament, PDS® Plus incorporates triclosan antibacterial technology to support infection risk management within veterinary surgical environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe USP 2-0 diameter provides enhanced tensile performance suitable for fascia, subcutaneous and general soft tissue closure in companion and larger animal surgery. The violet monofilament construction improves intraoperative visibility while maintaining smooth tissue passage, minimal drag and reliable knot security.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach suture features a 70 cm strand length to support controlled handling across wider operative fields. Supplied with a 31 mm MHD-1 blunt point dolphin needle, this configuration is designed to separate rather than cut tissue fibres, reducing the risk of inadvertent tissue trauma and supporting safer passage through friable or delicate tissue structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith an extended absorption profile of approximately 182–238 days, PDS® Plus maintains tensile strength throughout the critical healing phase before gradual hydrolytic absorption.
