- These sutures are designed for use in surgical procedures where a non-absorbable material with minimal tissue trauma is needed
Uses
- Plastic Surgery:
- Ideal for delicate closures in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures
- Oral Surgery:
- Commonly used in periodontics and dental implant procedures for soft tissue approximation
- Cosmetic Surgery:
- Suitable for skin closures and other procedures requiring minimal tissue reaction
- Suspension Procedures:
- The material's permanent tensile strength makes it suitable for suspension applications
- General Soft Tissue Approximation:
- Used for general approximation and/or ligation where a non-absorbable suture is required
Features
- Material:
- Made of 100% high-quality, biologically inert, and chemically non-reactive monofilament PTFE (similar to discontinued Gore-Tex® suture)
- Needle:
- Features an ultra-sharp, silicone-coated 19mm, 3/8 circle reverse cutting (FS-2) needle made of surgical-grade stainless steel for smooth tissue penetration
- Suture Size:
- 2-0
- Thread Length:
- 18 inches (45cm)
- Color:
- White, uncoated thread
- Absorbability/Strength:
- Non-absorbable; retains tensile strength for a lifetime, providing permanent support
Benefits
- Minimal Tissue Trauma:
- The very smooth, monofilament surface and silicone-coated needle allow the suture to pass through tissue with minimal drag or a "sawing effect"
- Excellent Handling:
- The material has little or no package memory, is soft and flexible for the clinician to handle, and knots securely, which enhances procedural efficiency and safety
- Patient Comfort:
- The suture is soft and flexible in the patient's mouth/body, unlike other stiffer monofilaments, improving the post-operative experience
- Reliable & Secure:
- The excellent knot security and lifetime tensile strength ensure the wound closure remains stable throughout the healing process
- Reduced Infection Risk:
- The material is biologically inert and non-reactive, minimizing tissue reaction and the potential for bacterial migration along the suture line
