Atramat® PDX PLUS
Atramat® PDX Plus Polydioxanone Antibacterial Suture
Atramat® Plus surgical sutures are coated with chlorhexidine diacetate, a broad spectrum antibacterial agent that inhibits the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and acts as a fungicide against yeasts and dermatophytes.
The Atramat® Plus range of sutures offers the same performance and control that surgeons to which surgeons already are accustomed with the benefit of bacterial protection by decreasing infections at the surgical site.
The use of antibacterial-coated sutures significantly reduces infections at the surgical site, and they are an excellent choice for reducing the risk of infection where bacteria might be a problem.
Chlorhexidine diacetate is not absorbed by the body, and bacteria have not developed resistance to its effects unlike other agents used that only prevent the growth of new bacteria without eliminating those already present.
