- An ultra-delicate dental suture that features a 5-0 gauge, 75cm pure white polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) thread integrated with a 12mm, 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle that provides the surgeon with better control and visibility when making shallow passes through thin, fragile gingiva close to the surface, particularly in wide or open aesthetic fields
Uses
- Anterior Aesthetic Zone Interventions:
- Ideal for suturing thin gingival tissue around front teeth where large puncture holes or scarring would ruin cosmetic outcomes
- Flatter Mucogingival & Tunneling Techniques:
- Used during gum grafting where shallow, horizontal passes are required across a wide surface area
- Micro-Papilla Preservation:
- Approximates highly delicate interdental papillae without tearing through the tip of the gum
- Controlled Barrier Membrane Fixation:
- Tacks down localized Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) or collagen membranes securely over small extraction or implant sites
Features
- Flatter 3/8 Circle Needle (12mm):
- The shallow arc trajectory minimizes deep tissue penetration. This prevents accidental puncturing of underlying bone grafting materials, blood vessels, or vital anatomical structures
- Ultra-Slim 5-0 Gauge Monofilament:
- Minimizes the diameter of the entrance wound, dramatically reducing micro-trauma and stitch scarring
- Biologically Inert 100% Medical-Grade PTFE:
- The thread material generates nearly zero foreign-body cell reactions, allowing the surrounding soft tissue to remain completely calm during recovery
- Zero Package Memory:
- It uncoils flat right out of the box, ensuring it will not snap or curl into the surgical field while tying knots
- Hydrophobic Thread Core:
- Fully repels oral fluids, blood, and bacteria, allowing it to maintain its initial tensile strength through weeks of placement
Benefits
- Maximum Visualization & Surface Control:
- The 3/8 circle needle configuration stays closer to the surface profile, giving dental surgeons high visibility during micro-surgical movements
- Elimination of Bacterial Wicking:
- Being a solid monofilament, it does not draw saliva or pathogens down into deep tissue layers, shielding bone grafts from infection
- Resilience Against Oral Enzymes:
- Unlike absorbable choices that break down too soon in the mouth, this thread maintains reliable flap tension across the standard 14-to-21-day timeline
- Unmatched Patient Tissue Comfort:
- Soft PTFE fibers conform flush against the mouth's anatomy without turning stiff or poking the cheeks, lips, or tongue
- Locked-In Micro Knot Security:
- The supple formulation compresses tight when tied, keeping small micro-knots completely stable without unravelling
