Feline Veterinary Sutures

This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code PDP9861H, is engineered for precise soft tissue approximation in animal health procedures requiring prolonged tensile strength and antimicrobial protection. Manufactured from synthetic absorbable polydioxanone monofilament, PDS® Plus incorporates triclosan antibacterial technology to support infection risk management in veterinary surgical environments.

The USP 6-0 diameter provides fine tensile control suitable for delicate dermal and soft tissue closure in companion animal surgery and smaller anatomical structures. The undyed monofilament construction ensures smooth tissue passage, minimal drag and dependable knot security during placement.

Each suture features a 45 cm strand length, supporting controlled handling in smaller operative fields. Supplied with a 13 mm PC-1 PRIME conventional cutting needle, this configuration allows accurate skin penetration and controlled advancement through tougher surface tissues, with the cutting edge positioned on the inner curvature for precise tissue entry.

With an extended absorption profile of approximately 182–238 days, PDS® Plus maintains tensile strength during the critical healing phase before gradual hydrolytic absorption. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 36, this product is intended for professional veterinary and animal health surgical settings requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.

The Ethicon MONOCRYL™ PLUS Antibacterial Suture MCP4930H is a sterile synthetic absorbable monofilament suture manufactured from poliglecaprone 25, designed for precise soft tissue approximation and ligation.

MONOCRYL™ PLUS sutures incorporate IRGACARE® MP (triclosan), a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent shown in vitro to inhibit bacterial colonisation on the suture surface. This antimicrobial protection helps reduce the risk of microbial attachment to the suture during the critical wound healing period.

The monofilament construction allows smooth tissue passage with minimal tissue trauma while reducing the potential for bacterial adherence compared with braided sutures.

This version of MONOCRYL™ PLUS is supplied undyed, providing a clear monofilament option where minimal visual contrast is preferred during delicate surgical procedures.

Poliglecaprone 25 has been shown to be non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic and associated with minimal tissue reaction during absorption, making it suitable for delicate tissue closure.

The suture is supplied attached to a stainless steel P-3 needle and packaged sterile for single-use surgical procedures.

MONOCRYL™ PLUS sutures are commonly used for subcuticular skin closure, plastic surgery procedures, ophthalmic-style fine tissue work and delicate soft tissue approximation where antibacterial protection is beneficial.
