PDS Plate manufactured by Ethicon and distributed by Mentor is the first and only absorbable structural support for orbital floor, rhinoplasty and septoplasty procedures helping to avoid the need for and risks of cartilage harvesting. PDS Plate is made of polydioxanone the same material as PDS II sutre and has been trusted by surgeons for 30 years. PDS Plate provides non-warping, uniform support for fragments of cartilage while healing, removing the need for secondary site surgery. This means surgeons can be confident of the best outcomes with minimal patient trauma.
