- A 3-0 gauge, non-resorbable monofilament suture made of pure polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and paired with a reverse cutting needle, that is utilized in dental and oral surgeries to provide secure wound closure, minimize inflammation, and promote optimal soft tissue healing
Uses
- Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) & Tissue Regeneration (GTR):
- Keeps protective membranes perfectly stabilized over bone graft sites without irritating adjacent delicate flaps
- Dental Implantology:
- Closes flaps over implant fixtures seamlessly, protecting the underlying components during the critical early osseointegration weeks
- Periodontal Plastic Surgery:
- Used in aesthetic gum grafting and pocket reduction treatments where exact flap alignment and minimal micro-trauma are required
- Complex Alveolar Ridge Preservations:
- Secures sockets post-extraction to guarantee that soft tissue adapts smoothly to the new ridge contour
Features
- 100% Medical-Grade PTFE Monofilament:
- Completely non-resorbable and biologically inert, meaning it induces virtually zero foreign-body reaction in the oral cavity
- High Fluency & Smooth Construction:
- The completely smooth surface allows the strand to slide effortlessly through tough gingival layers without tearing the tissue duct
- HS Reverse Cutting Needle (19 mm):
- Features a sharp triangular profile with cutting edges positioned on the outer curve and sides. This maximizes needle solidity and aids penetration through fibrous oral tissue without cutting through the edge of the flap
- Atraumatic Strand Connection:
- The white PTFE thread is linked directly into the needle core, ensuring a smooth transition that minimizes puncture site expansion
- Zero Package Memory & Hydrophobic Material:
- The suture straightens out easily right from the sterile blister box. It does not kink, coil, or absorb moisture, preserving its massive tensile strength indefinitely even when continuously exposed to saliva
Benefits
- Complete Resistance to Enzymatic Weakening:
- Unlike absorbable materials that prematurely break down under the destructive enzymes present in oral fluids, this PTFE suture firmly supports the wound structure through the entire 14-to-21-day healing phase
- Prevention of Bacterial Wicking:
- Braided or porous threads act like straws, drawing harmful food debris, saliva, and bacteria into deep tissue layers. The non-porous monofilament completely blocks this mechanism, significantly dropping post-op inflammation, bleeding, and flap dehiscence risks
- Superior Flap Tightness & Knot Security:
- Clinicians experience high-precision handling. Despite the slipperiness of PTFE, the unique soft texture allows knots to sit firmly and stay locked in position without unravelling
- High Patient Tolerance:
- Standard nylon options can feel stiff, sharp, and poke into the patient's tongue or cheeks. Omnia’s soft formulation curves gently to the contours of the mouth, enhancing daily patient comfort during recovery
