- A non-absorbable, monofilament suture made from Polytetrafluoroethylene, primarily used for soft tissue closure in various dental surgical procedure
Uses
- Soft tissue closure:
- Used for reliable and effective closure in a wide range of oral surgery procedures
- Periodontal surgery:
- Commonly employed in delicate periodontal surgeries due to its gentle properties and minimal tissue reaction
- Bone grafting:
- Suitable for procedures involving bone grafting where predictable wound healing and reduced bacterial wicking are desired
- Dental implant surgery:
- The properties of PTFE make it an excellent choice for use around dental implants, promoting healthy healing
- Patient comfort:
- The smooth, soft material is comfortable for patients during the healing phase
Features
- Non-absorbable:
- The material is non-absorbable, providing long-term tissue support without weakening from tissue enzymes
- Monofilament and non-wicking:
- It has a monofilament structure that handles smoothly like a multifilament suture but does not absorb oral fluids or harbor bacteria, which helps promote healing and reduces infection risk
- Biologically inert:
- PTFE is highly biocompatible, leading to minimal tissue reaction or inflammation
- Perma Sharp Needle:
- Features a high-quality 300 series stainless steel needle with a fine point geometry for smooth tissue penetration
- Minimal memory:
- The suture has little to no package memory, making it easy to handle, place, and tie securely
- White color:
- The white color of the suture offers good visibility in the surgical field and is great for use in the aesthetic zone
