- An absorbable, monofilament suture with a C-1 needle, designed for soft tissue closure in dental surgical procedures
Uses
- General soft tissue closure:
- Used for reliable and effective closure in a wide range of oral surgical procedures
- Surgical procedures where removal is difficult:
- As an absorbable suture, it is a suitable choice for procedures where suture removal would be difficult or unnecessary
- Mucosal wounds:
- Often used for closing mucosal wounds or in superficial skin closures where faster healing is expected
- Short-term tissue support:
- Provides wound support for approximately 5-7 days, making it ideal for rapidly healing tissues
Features
- Absorbable material:
- The suture is made from Plain Gut, a natural material that loses its tensile strength within 5-7 days and is completely absorbed by the body within 30-60 days
- Monofilament construction:
- The suture has a smooth, monofilament surface, which reduces tissue drag during passage and knot placement
- Undyed:
- It is undyed, retaining its natural coloration
- Perma Sharp Needle:
- Features a sharp, high-quality stainless steel needle (C-1) manufactured from a proprietary, stronger alloy
- Fine point geometry:
- The needle is designed with a finer point geometry for smoother penetration, requiring less force than some other needles
- Laser-drilled needle:
- The needle end is laser-drilled to minimize the gap between the needle and suture material, resulting in less tissue disruption
