This PDS™ Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP9091H, is designed for fine 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 6-0 diameter provides precise tensile control suitable for delicate tissue layers where minimal trauma and accurate placement are essential. The monofilament construction ensures smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and dependable knot integrity.

Each suture features a 45 cm strand length, supporting controlled handling in confined or precise operative fields. This variant is supplied with a BV175-6 needle, engineered for refined penetration performance in delicate soft tissues, enabling accurate approximation with minimal disruption.

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