Features:
- Non-absorbable and monofilament:
- The material provides long-term tissue support and handles smoothly like a multifilament suture but without the wicking properties
- Non-wicking:
- It does not absorb oral fluids or harbor bacteria, which helps promote wound healing and reduces infection risk
- Biologically inert:
- Polypropylene is highly biocompatible, leading to minimal tissue reaction or inflammation
- High tensile strength:
- The material is very strong and provides reliable knot security
- Perma Sharp Needle:
- Features a high-quality 300 series stainless steel needle with a fine point geometry for smooth tissue penetration
