PTFE sutures are the right choice for implantology, periodontology, bone grafting and general surgery, where the advantages of extra soft monofilament suture and low bacterial adhesion are a must. The suture is soft, biologically immobile and chemically "non-reactive". Compared to other monofilament synthetic sutures, PTFE is very tolerant in the oral environment. Inflammation and bleeding are significantly limited. Resistant, excellent biocompatibility, biologically immobile, anti-inflammatory, monofilament and comfortable for the patient.
"PTFE" stands for polytetrafluoroethylene, which is the material used to make the suture thread.
PTFE suture is known for its unique properties. It is soft, flexible and has low friction, making it ideal for use in areas of movement or wounds that require minimal trauma during the healing process.
Some of the advantages of PTFE suture:
1. Excellent glide: PTFE sutures have a particularly smooth surface that minimizes resistance and friction during suturing. This helps reduce trauma to the surrounding tissue and promotes a smoother healing process.
2. Biocompatibility: The PTFE material is biocompatible, meaning it is well-tolerated by the body without causing significant inflammation or tissue reaction. This results in less discomfort and a more comfortable healing experience for the patient.
3. Durability: PTFE sutures are known for their strength and resistance to chemical and biological factors. They retain their physical properties for a long time and are therefore suitable for suturing wounds or incisions with greater tension.
It is important to note that PTFE sutures may not be suitable for all types of surgical procedures or wounds.
