- A non-absorbable surgical suture designed for precise wound closure. It is primarily used in specialized dental and medical surgeries where long-term wound support and minimal tissue disruption are required
Uses
- Periodontal and Dental Surgery:
- Ideal for soft tissue approximation in dental implantology, bone grafting, and other oral surgical procedures
- Microsurgery:
- The fine gauge and smooth monofilament surface make it suitable for delicate, high-precision procedures
- General Skin Closure:
- Used for ligating and approximating soft tissues in various medical settings
Features
- Material:
- Constructed from polypropylene monofilament, which is non-absorbable and provides long-term wound support
- Needle Design:
- Features an FS-2 reverse cutting needle (19mm, 3/8 circle) with a honed, multi-edged point for easier penetration
- Suture Dimensions:
- The suture is Size 3-0 and 18 inches (45cm) in length
- Visibility:
- The material is white in color to ensure easy visibility during surgery
- Packaging:
- Supplied in a box of 12, featuring a sterile, single-use design
Benefits
- Minimal Tissue Trauma:
- The smooth monofilament construction passes through tissue easily with minimal drag, reducing the risk of tissue disruption
- Superior Strength:
- Offers high tensile strength compared to other monofilament types, ensuring secure wound closure
- Reduced Infection Risk:
- As a non-absorbable monofilament, it does not harbor bacteria as easily as braided materials
- Ease of Handling:
- Designed for secure knot tying and reduced material "memory" (the tendency of a suture to return to its original shape), which simplifies the suturing process
