Ethicon PDS PLUS violet USP 2-0 70cm Taperpoint Plus 36mm 1/2C (PDP339H)

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 designed to retain tensile strength for a prolonged period compared with faster-absorbing absorbable sutures, making it appropriate for veterinary procedures requiring sustained wound approximation and predictable long-term absorption. The monofilament construction supports smooth tissue passage, low tissue drag, and minimal capillarity, contributing to consistent handling and dependable knot security.

The violet colour improves visibility within deeper tissue planes, aiding accurate placement and suture management during surgery. Supplied at a length of 70cm, this suture is suitable for a wide range of veterinary soft tissue and fascial applications. The 36mm 1/2 circle Taperpoint Plus needle features a reinforced taper design that enhances penetration control through moderately dense tissues while maintaining the atraumatic characteristics of a taperpoint needle. The larger needle profile provides improved control and reach in deeper operative sites where precision and strength retention are essential.
