Description
Full SEO-Optimised Description
PDS™ PLUS Undyed USP 3-0 (PDP9957H) is manufactured from polydioxanone (PDS) and coated with triclosan, providing broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against common surgical-site pathogens. The antibacterial coating helps inhibit bacterial colonisation of the suture, supporting a reduced risk of surgical site infection compared with non-antibacterial sutures.
As a long-term absorbable monofilament suture, PDS™ PLUS retains a high proportion of tensile strength over an extended period, with gradual absorption typically completed by approximately 180 days. This profile makes it particularly suitable for procedures requiring prolonged wound support, such as deeper soft tissue closure or areas under sustained tension.
The USP 3-0 size offers an effective balance of strength and precision. The undyed monofilament construction minimises tissue drag and reduces tissue reaction, supporting improved healing and cosmetic outcomes. Monofilament design also resists bacterial wicking, complementing the antibacterial coating.
Supplied with a 26 mm reverse cutting needle (3/8 circle), this configuration is optimised for skin and firmer tissue closure, providing controlled penetration with reduced risk of tissue cut-out. The 45 cm strand length supports efficient handling in routine surgical procedures.
Individually sterile packed, PDS™ PLUS PDP9957H delivers trusted antibacterial suture performance manufactured by Ethicon (Johnson & Johnson) for dependable veterinary and medical wound closure.
