This PDS® Plus Antibacterial (Polydioxanone) Surgical Suture, product code PDP9324H, is engineered for high-strength soft tissue approximation in procedures requiring extended tensile support 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 1 diameter provides substantial tensile strength suitable for larger tissue structures and higher-tension closures. The monofilament construction ensures smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag and reliable knot security during placement.

Each suture features a 90 cm strand length, supporting extended closure techniques and controlled handling across larger operative fields. Supplied with a CP reverse cutting needle (40 mm) manufactured from 420 alloy, this configuration positions the cutting edge on the outer curvature to minimise tissue cut-through while enabling effective penetration through tougher or fibrous tissue layers.

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