- A non-absorbable, monofilament suture made from Polytetrafluoroethylene, primarily used for soft tissue closure in various dental surgical procedures
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
- Aesthetic zone application:
- The white color of the suture makes it suitable for use in aesthetically sensitive areas
Features
- Non-absorbable and monofilament:
- The material is non-absorbable, providing 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:
- PTFE is highly biocompatible, resulting in 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, requiring less force than some other needles
- Minimal memory:
- The suture has little to no package memory, making it easy to handle, place, and tie securely
- Patient comfort:
- The smooth, soft material minimizes tissue damage during placement and is comfortable for the patient
