Ethicon PDS PLUS violet USP 1 70cm Taperpoint 31mm 1/2C (PDP9211H)

PDS PLUS violet USP 1 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 deliver prolonged tensile strength retention compared to faster-absorbing absorbable sutures, making it particularly suitable for veterinary procedures requiring extended wound approximation and controlled healing. The monofilament structure allows smooth tissue passage, reduced tissue drag, and minimal capillarity, supporting consistent handling and reliable knot security.

The violet colour enhances visibility within deeper or poorly illuminated surgical fields, aiding accurate placement and suture management. Supplied at a length of 70cm, this suture is appropriate for a broad range of veterinary soft tissue, fascial, and orthopaedic closures. The 31mm 1/2 circle taperpoint needle is engineered to separate tissue fibres rather than cut them, minimising tissue trauma and supporting optimal healing in delicate or dense tissue structures commonly encountered in veterinary surgery.
