This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP9615H, is engineered for reliable 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 precision and dependable knot security are essential. The undyed monofilament construction ensures smooth tissue passage with minimal tissue drag and enhanced handling characteristics.

Each suture features a 45 cm strand length, supporting controlled placement in standard operative fields. Supplied with a PC-5 PRIME™ MP conventional cutting needle (19 mm) manufactured from ETHALLOY alloy, this configuration provides enhanced sharpness and durability. The conventional cutting design facilitates efficient penetration through tougher tissue such as skin, while MULTIPASS® technology supports consistent performance across repeated tissue passes.

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.
