- An ultra-fine, premium dental suture that features a 5-0 gauge, 75 cm (29.55") pure white polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) thread integrated with an 18mm, 3/8 circle round-body needle featuring a Diamond Tip which parts delicate soft tissues using a non-cutting expansion technique rather than slicing a track, this drastically minimizes puncture site trauma and preserves tissue volume during high-magnification micromanipulations
Uses
- Aesthetic Zone Mucogingival Surgery:
- Perfect for delicate gum grafts, root coverage procedures, and tunneling techniques around front teeth where avoiding puncture scars or tissue tearing is vital
- Intricate Guided Tissue & Bone Regeneration (GTR/GBR):
- Secures fragile bio-absorbable membranes or soft collagen barriers over localized bone grafts safely without slicing into thin flap margins
- Microvascular and Fine Flap Closures:
- Approximates highly sensitive oral soft tissue flaps under an operating microscope with minimal pulling forces
- Papilla Reconstruction:
- Ideal for closing micro-flaps in tight interdental spaces without inducing localized tissue death or cutting through fragile papillae tips
Features
- Round-Body Diamond Tip Needle (18mm):
- Built with a smooth round shank that tapers into a faceted diamond point. It lacks lateral cutting edges, allowing it to glide cleanly through oral tissues while significantly reducing wound dilation
- 3/8 Circle Curvature Arc:
- The shallower curvature ensures exceptional path visibility and surface-level travel control when working in wide aesthetic fields
- Ultra-Fine 5-0 Gauge Monofilament:
- Offers an incredibly slim diameter that slides effortlessly through gingival structures with zero friction
- 100% Medical-Grade PTFE:
- Biologically inert, sterile, and completely non-resorbable. It prevents cellular foreign-body reactions and remains chemically stable indefinitely
- Zero Package Memory:
- Uncoils perfectly flat straight from the sterile blister box, eliminating the coiling or pigtailing common with nylon monofilaments
Benefits
- Minimal Puncture Site Trauma:
- Because the diamond tip expands the tissue instead of slicing a line, fluid seepage, post-operative bleeding, and structural tearing are heavily minimized
- Prevention of Bacterial Wicking:
- The solid monofilament design creates a smooth barrier that blocks saliva, food residues, and oral pathogens from traveling down into deep bone grafting matrices
- Stable Structural Flap Tension:
- Completely immune to structural degradation from oral enzymes. It firmly supports fragile tissue positions through the full 14-to-21-day recovery phase
- High Patient Tolerance:
- The soft, supple PTFE compound rests flush against the oral mucosa without turning rigid. This prevents irritation to the patient's cheeks, lips, and tongue
- Flawless Micro-Knot Security:
- The unique material compressability allows small, delicate knots to lock tightly together, preventing them from slipping or unraveling over weeks of placement
