This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP924H, 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 4-0 diameter provides controlled tensile performance suitable for dermal and general soft tissue closure where smooth tissue passage and reliable knot security are essential. The monofilament structure reduces tissue drag and supports predictable handling characteristics.
Each suture features a 70 cm strand length, allowing controlled placement within standard operative fields. Supplied with a TF taper point needle, the taper point configuration separates tissue fibres rather than cutting them, promoting atraumatic penetration and accurate soft tissue approximation.
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 environments 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.
