The PROFIMED-PTFE surgical suture is a sterilized monofilament non-absorbable surgical suture made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) polymer. It is used for holding in contact or for approximation of soft tissues, with applications in cardiovascular and dental surgeries.

The use of PROFIMED-PTFE is not indicated for ophthalmic surgeries, nor in microsurgery and in the peripheral tissue of nerves. After implantation, it causes a very small local tissue inflammation, characteristic of the reaction to a foreign body.

Applications in dentistry:

• Periodontal and implant surgeries
• Soft tissue regeneration
• Guided tissue and bone regeneration (gtr, grb)

Features:

• 100% pure ptfe (no additives or substances added)
• Excellent biocompatibility
• Monofilament texture that prevents bacterial growth
• Ideal for graft application
• Very soft, for ease of handling and avoidance of injuries
• High tensile strength
• Free from APHO
• Surface structure that prevents merging with skin and tissues
• Hydrophobic and oleophobic
• Extremely low friction coefficient
• Flexible material with reduced oral reaction
