This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code PDP9381H, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation in animal health 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 veterinary surgical environments.
The USP 0 diameter provides strong tensile performance suitable for fascia, muscle and higher-tension closures in companion and large animal surgery. The monofilament construction ensures smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and reliable knot security during placement.
Each suture features a 90 cm strand length, supporting extended closure techniques and controlled handling across larger operative fields. Supplied with a V-34 TAPERCUT® needle (36 mm), this configuration combines a tapered body with a precision cutting tip to facilitate penetration through dense or fibrous tissue while maintaining atraumatic passage through softer layers.
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 veterinary and animal health surgical settings requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
