Ethicon PDS PLUS violet USP 2-0 70cm Taperpoint 26mm 1/2C (PDP317H)

PDS PLUS violet USP 2-0 is a monofilament, absorbable surgical suture manufactured from polydioxanone and coated with triclosan to inhibit bacterial colonisation along the suture line. It is engineered to retain tensile strength for a prolonged period compared with faster-absorbing absorbable sutures, making it suitable for veterinary procedures where sustained wound approximation and predictable long-term absorption are clinically important. The monofilament construction delivers smooth tissue passage, low tissue drag, and minimal capillarity, supporting consistent handling and reliable knot security.

The violet colour enhances intraoperative visibility, particularly within deeper tissue planes, aiding accurate placement and suture management. Supplied at a length of 70cm, this suture is appropriate for a wide range of veterinary soft tissue and fascial applications. The 26mm 1/2 circle taperpoint needle is designed to separate tissue fibres rather than cut them, reducing tissue trauma while allowing effective passage through moderately dense tissues. This needle profile supports atraumatic handling and precise placement, contributing to optimal healing outcomes.
