Ethicon PDS PLUS violet USP 2-0 70cm Tapercut 26mm 1/2C (PDP9184H)

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

The violet colour improves visibility within deeper surgical sites, assisting 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 closures. The 26mm 1/2 circle tapercut needle combines a tapered body with a cutting point, allowing controlled penetration of denser tissue while minimising unnecessary trauma. This needle profile supports precise placement in tissues where a standard taperpoint may be insufficient, while still promoting optimal healing outcomes.
