Description

The PDS Plus Monofilament Suture, manufactured by Ethicon, stands as a versatile and reliable solution for various surgical applications. This clear, size 3-0 suture is crafted from a monofilament, synthetic, absorbable material prepared from p-dioxanone and contains Irgacare MP, enhancing its antimicrobial properties for added infection control.

While unsuitable for adult cardiovascular tissue, microsurgery, or neural tissue, the PDS Plus Monofilament Suture is particularly beneficial in scenarios requiring a combination of absorbable sutures and extended wound support. Its absorbable nature allows for gradual degradation over time, providing prolonged wound support while minimizing tissue reaction.

Packaged conveniently with 12 sutures per box, organized into 1 dozen packs, this product ensures ease of use and accessibility in clinical settings. Identified by the manufacturer's part number PDP497G, it exemplifies Ethicon's commitment to innovation and excellence in surgical sutures.

PDS Plus Antibacterial (polydioxanone) monofilament synthetic absorbable suture is prepared from the polyester, poly (p-dioxanone). The suture contains Irgacare MP (triclosan), a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent. PDS Plus Antibacterial sutures are indicated for use in soft tissue approximation, including use in pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur and ophthalmic surgery (other than contact with cornea and sclera). PDS Plus Antibacterial suture is not indicated in adult cardiovascular tissue, microsurgery, and neural tissue. These sutures are particularly useful where the combination of an absorbable suture and extended wound support (up to six weeks) is desirable.
