STRATAFIX Symmetric PDS Plus SXPP1A100
STRATAFIX Symmetric PDS Plus is a knotless, barbed, absorbable monofilament suture used for soft tissue approximation. It consists of polydioxanone with triclosan coating to reduce infection risk. The device provides unidirectional bidirectional wound closure and comes in sterile single-strand packs.
This knotless tissue control device features barbs arranged symmetrically along the suture to maintain tension without knots, ensuring consistent wound edge approximation. Its polydioxanone structure offers extended strength with gradual absorption over approximately 210 days, supporting tissue during critical healing phases. Triclosan coating adds an antibacterial layer to help reduce surgical-site infections. Available in various needle configurations, it is well-suited for high-tension closures, including fascia, that benefit from secure, efficient wound management.
