Ethicon PDS PLUS violet USP 3-0 70cm Taperpoint 31mm 1/2C (PDP9132H)

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

The violet colour enhances intraoperative visibility, particularly in deeper or confined surgical fields, supporting accurate placement and suture control. Supplied at a length of 70cm, this finer-calibre suture is well suited to a wide range of veterinary soft tissue and fascial applications where delicate tissue handling is required. The 31mm 1/2 circle taperpoint needle is designed to separate tissue fibres rather than cut them, reducing tissue trauma and supporting optimal healing outcomes in both delicate and moderately dense tissues.
