- Designed for general soft tissue closure in dental procedures where a non-absorbable suture is preferred for its strength and extended tissue support
Uses
-
Used for general soft tissue closure in various dental procedures. Its absorbability makes it a practical choice for applications such as:
- Standard oral surgery, such as wisdom tooth extraction
- Periodontal surgery
- Dental implant surgery
- Securing dental grafts
- Creating a stable, long-lasting closure that requires manual removal
Features
- Non-absorbable:
- The silk material remains in the tissue and maintains its tensile strength, requiring manual removal after a defined healing period
- Excellent handling:
- The braided silk is known for being easy to handle, hold knots securely, and be placed with precision
- Strong and sharp needles:
- The attached C-6 reverse cutting needle is made from a proprietary stainless steel alloy that resists bending and breaking and maintains a sharp edge pass after pass
- Strong and durable needles:
- The C-9 needle is crafted from a high-quality stainless steel alloy that resists bending and breaking
- Reduced tissue trauma:
- The connection between the needle and suture is laser-drilled, which creates a smooth transition and reduces tissue disruption and drag during suturing
- Black color:
- The color provides a high-contrast visual for the clinician against the oral tissue, aiding in placement and removal
