- A non-absorbable surgical suture specifically designed for advanced dental and oral surgeries, since it made of PTFE which is a material known for its extreme biocompatibility and smoothness
Uses
- Implantology:
- Ideal for closing sites after dental implant placement to ensure minimal bacterial accumulation
- Bone Grafting:
- Used to secure membranes and approximate tissue over grafted areas
- Periodontal Surgery:
- Suitable for various oral soft tissue procedures requiring long-term, non-reactive support
Features
- Material:
- Constructed from 100% non-absorbable PTFE monofilament, which is chemically inert and does not degrade
- Needle Design:
- Features a PS-2 precision point reverse cutting needle (19mm, 3/8 circle), designed for superior sharpness and minimal tissue trauma
- Suture Dimensions:
- The suture is Size 4-0 and 18 inches (45cm) in length
- Visibility:
- The material is white and coated to enhance handling and visibility during delicate procedures
- Packaging:
- Supplied in a box of 12 sterile units
Benefits
- Bio-Inertness:
- PTFE is highly resistant to bacterial adhesion, significantly reducing the risk of infection at the surgical site
- Excellent Handling:
- It has a "soft" feel with very low suture memory, meaning it does not spring back into a coiled shape, making it easier to tie secure knots
- Patient Comfort:
- The smooth monofilament surface does not "wick" fluids or bacteria into the wound, leading to less inflammation and improved patient comfort during the healing phase
- Precision Tissue Passage:
- The combination of a precision-point needle and a low-friction material allows the suture to glide through delicate oral tissues with minimal drag
