Description

The PDS™ Plus Antibacterial Clear Monofilament Suture, Size 2-0, 27", CT-1 Needle, is a sterile, synthetic absorbable surgical suture composed of polydioxanone and coated with the antibacterial agent triclosan (Irgacare® MP). This antibacterial coating actively inhibits bacterial colonization on the suture, reducing the risk of surgical site infections, particularly from Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis.

The CT-1 taper point needle is designed for atraumatic passage through soft tissue. With its 1/2 circle curvature and smooth stainless steel surface, it offers high precision and reduced tissue drag, making it suitable for general closure, gastrointestinal, gynecologic, and urologic surgeries.

This clear suture is frequently selected for its combination of antibacterial protection, reliable strength retention, and biocompatibility. Its monofilament design provides superior handling, minimal tissue reactivity, and consistent knot performance, ensuring optimal outcomes in procedures requiring secure, long-term tissue support with infection control.
