This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Veterinary Surgical Suture, product code PDP9100H, is engineered for delicate soft tissue approximation in animal health 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 veterinary surgical settings.

The USP 6-0 diameter provides precise tensile control suitable for fine tissue layers and small anatomical structures in companion animal surgery. The monofilament construction ensures smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and consistent knot security.

Each suture features a 45 cm strand length, supporting controlled placement in confined operative fields. Supplied with an RB-2 taper point needle (13 mm), the taper point design separates tissue fibres rather than cutting them, promoting atraumatic penetration and precise approximation in delicate tissues.

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 veterinary and animal health surgical environments requiring reliable long-term absorbable wound closure with antibacterial protection.
