PTFE is a synthetic polymer also known by the brand name Teflon. The sutures are known for their biocompatibility, inertness, and low coefficient of friction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey are non-reactive, meaning they do not elicit a significant immune response in the body. They are chemically inert and do not react with body tissues or fluids. This reduces the risk of inflammation, infection, and tissue damage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePTFE sutures have a very low friction coefficient, which means they slide easily through tissues during suturing. This can make the suturing process smoother and reduce trauma to the surrounding tissues. These sutures are completely biocompatible, and they are well tolerated by the body and do not provoke an adverse reaction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePTFE sutures are non-absorbable, instead, they remain in place, providing long-term support to the healing tissues. It makes them perfectly suitable for applications where long-term wound support is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOral mucosal closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlveolar bone grafting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJaw reconstruction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDental and maxillofacial surgery\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneral surgery\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic surgery\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCardiovascular surgery\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrthopedic surgery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from medical-grade polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) - Ensuring compatibility with biological tissues and minimizing the risk of adverse reactions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-reactive - PTFE's inert nature reduces tissue irritation and inflammation, promoting optimal healing and minimizing the risk of complications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow coefficient of friction - PTFE sutures glide smoothly through tissues, facilitating precise and efficient suturing while reducing tissue trauma.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-absorbable - Provide long-term support to healing tissues as they are not absorbed by the body, maintaining wound closure integrity over time.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatility - Suitable for a wide range of surgical specialties and procedures, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, plastic, orthopedic, and general surgery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSterilize packaging - Each suture is individually packaged and sterilized to ensure compliance with medical standards and reduce the risk of surgical site infections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew needle - Equipped with a new improved atraumatic needle for less friction and tissue irritation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharacteristics: Monofilament, synthetic, non-absorbable, sterile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemical structure: 100% Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoating: No-coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Transparent - No dye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWound support: Indefinite (non-absorbable)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete resorption: Non-absorbable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTensile strength: Consistent tensile strength throughout its lifespan, no degradation over time, full wound support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTissue Reaction: Minimal tissue reaction due to inert nature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapillarity: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape memory: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnot security: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoothness: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSawing effect: None due to the non-reactive nature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedle type: 19mm reverse cut 3\/8 circle atraumatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe package includes 12 x 75cm sutures in each pack, with a 19 mm atraumatic needle 3\/8 circle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSizes for selection: 2\/0, 3\/0, 4\/0, 5\/0, 6\/0 USP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Dental Suture Types - which one to choose?\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8n2FGXf_mR4\" height=\"317\" width=\"564\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Starcona Dental Supply","offers":[{"title":"2\/0 USP","offer_id":53542971834647,"sku":"DSI-DS-PTFE20","price":161.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3\/0 USP","offer_id":53542971867415,"sku":"DSI-DS-PTFE30","price":161.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\/0 USP","offer_id":53542971900183,"sku":"DSI-DS-PTFE40","price":161.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5\/0 USP","offer_id":53542971932951,"sku":"DSI-DS-PTFE50","price":161.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\/0 USP","offer_id":53543100809495,"sku":"DSI-DS-PTFE60","price":161.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/6971\/5479\/files\/PTFE_Teflon_Sutures12pcsPack.webp?v=1781626668","url":"https:\/\/starcona.com\/products\/ptfe-teflon%c2%ae-sutures-12pcs-pack","provider":"Starcona Dental Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
