Ethicon PDS Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Absorbable Surgical Suture PDP9867H

This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP9867H, is engineered for dependable soft tissue approximation in 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 surgical environments.

The USP 4-0 diameter provides controlled tensile performance suitable for dermal and general soft tissue closure. The undyed monofilament construction ensures smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and reliable knot security during placement.

Each suture features a 45 cm strand length for efficient handling within standard operative fields. Supplied with a 16 mm PC-3 PRIME™ MP conventional cutting needle, this configuration enables precise skin penetration and consistent tissue entry. MULTIPASS® technology supports sustained needle sharpness and smooth passage across repeated tissue passes, enhancing control during closure.

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 surgical settings requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
