Ethicon PDS PLUS violet USP 3-0 70cm Taperpoint Plus 26mm 1/2C (PDP9124H)

PDS PLUS violet USP 3-0 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, supporting sustained wound approximation and predictable absorption in veterinary procedures where controlled long-term healing is required. The monofilament construction offers smooth tissue passage, low tissue drag, and minimal capillarity, contributing to consistent handling and dependable knot security.

The violet colour improves intraoperative visibility, particularly within deeper or confined surgical fields, aiding accurate placement and suture management. Supplied at a length of 70cm, this finer-calibre suture is well suited to a broad range of veterinary soft tissue and fascial applications. The 26mm 1/2 circle Taperpoint Plus needle features a reinforced tip profile designed to improve penetration control through moderately dense tissues while maintaining the atraumatic characteristics of a taperpoint needle. This combination supports precise placement with reduced tissue trauma and reliable performance in demanding clinical situations.
