Details:
PTFE suture is a monofilament non-absorbable, extremely soft and smooth material composed of a strand of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). This material is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that is very strong, knots well and biologically inert.
Our suture is white in color and some of the SKUs are available with black needles for enhancing the visibility during the surgery. Teflene material has a very low friction coefficient, meaning it slides easily through tissue compared to other materials, thereby limiting the possibility of tissue damage. This feature, along with the monofilament construction, prevents the possibility of bacterial wicking into the surgical site.
Our PTFE suture is designed to be an ultra-soft, high density surgical suture making it an ideal choice for oral and maxillofacial surgery.
