PDS™ Plus PRIME PDP513H

Description

PDS™ Plus PRIME suture material improves safety and control in wound management during daily surgical work. The monofilament polydioxanone ensures smooth tissue passage and offers excellent knot sliding properties with minimal suture memory, supporting precise handling during suturing. The antibacterial coating with IRGACARE® MP (triclosan) reduces bacterial colonisation and helps protect against common pathogens associated with postoperative wound infections, including MRSA and MRSE. The material provides long-term tensile strength retention of up to 60% after 6 weeks, making it suitable for procedures requiring extended wound support, such as abdominal wall closure or orthopaedic surgery. Complete absorption occurs after approximately 180 to 240 days, eliminating the need for suture removal. The One-step RELAY Zipper packaging enables fast and controlled access to the suture material, improving workflow efficiency and reducing the risk of needlestick injuries. Clear labelling and colour coding support structured organisation in the operating theatre. PDS™ Plus PRIME is suitable for abdominal wall closure, fascial suturing, intestinal anastomoses and tendon repair, offering reliab
