This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP1721H, is engineered for refined soft tissue approximation in procedures requiring extended tensile strength and antimicrobial protection. Manufactured from synthetic absorbable polydioxanone monofilament, PDS® Plus ensures smooth tissue passage, predictable hydrolytic absorption and prolonged wound stability.

Incorporating antibacterial technology, PDS® Plus is designed to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture, supporting infection risk management in surgical environments. The USP 6-0 diameter delivers delicate tensile performance suitable for fine soft tissue layers requiring secure approximation and precise handling.

The 70 cm strand length supports controlled placement and meticulous suturing techniques in delicate operative fields. This suture is supplied with a C-1 taperpoint needle, designed to facilitate smooth penetration of soft tissue while minimising trauma and maintaining needle stability during placement.

With an extended absorption profile, 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 environments requiring dependable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
