- A non-absorbable, monofilament surgical suture is specifically designed for high-stakes procedures where tissue biocompatibility and bacterial resistance are paramount, such as dental implant and periodontal surgeries
Uses
- Dental Implant Surgery:
- Ideal for securing soft tissue around implants due to its inherent resistance to bacterial colonization and plaque accumulation
- Periodontal & Bone Grafting:
- Frequently used in delicate oral procedures like gum grafting and guided tissue regeneration where minimizing tissue inflammation is critical
- General Wound Closure:
- Suitable for medical and surgical applications requiring a non-reactive, chemically inert material for long-term wound support
Features
- Material:
- Non-absorbable, monofilament Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) that is chemically inert and highly biocompatible
- Needle Specifications:
- Type: FS-2 Reverse Cutting needle, designed for easier penetration through tough or keratinized tissue
- Curvature: 3/8 Circle
- Length: 19mm
- Dimensions:
- Suture size 2-0 with a length of 18 inches (approx. 45cm)
- Visibility:
- Violet color to provide high contrast against oral tissues for easier placement and eventual removal
- Packaging:
- Sold in boxes of 12 sterile units
Benefits
- Exceptional Biocompatibility:
- The PTFE material is chemically inert, resulting in minimal tissue reaction and irritation compared to traditional materials
- Bacterial Resistance:
- Its monofilament structure prevents "wicking," where bacteria can be drawn into the wound through the suture material
- Superior Handling:
- Features a smooth surface that allows for easy, atraumatic passage through tissue and secure knot-tying
- Precision Needle Performance:
- The FS-2 needle is crafted from high-strength stainless steel to resist bending while providing the sharpness needed for precise suturing
