This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code D10180, is engineered for reliable soft tissue approximation in procedures requiring extended tensile strength and antimicrobial protection. Manufactured from synthetic absorbable polydioxanone monofilament, PDS® Plus delivers smooth tissue passage, predictable hydrolytic absorption and prolonged wound support.

Incorporating antibacterial technology, PDS® Plus is designed to inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture, supporting infection risk management in surgical environments. The USP 0 diameter provides substantial tensile performance suitable for fascial and high-tension soft tissue closure.

The 150 cm strand length supports continuous suturing techniques and efficient closure of larger surgical sites. This suture is supplied with a CT-2 taperpoint flat needle. The taperpoint flat configuration facilitates smooth penetration of soft tissue while offering enhanced needle stability and control during placement.

With an extended absorption profile, PDS® Plus maintains tensile strength through the critical healing phase before gradual hydrolytic absorption. Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 24, this product is intended for professional surgical environments requiring dependable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
