Monofilament Polytetrafluoroethylene Suture

Non absorbable Surgical Suture USP

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) suture is a nonabsorbable, monofilament suture manufactured from 100% high density PolytetraFluoroethylene (PTFE) polymer, extruded in such a fashion as to produce a structure with a minimal pore size and volume while maintaining integrity and tensile strength. The structure is undyed with no additives.

  • Intended Use: It is intended for use all types of soft tissue approximation and/ or ligation, including dental and general surgeries.
  • Application: The suture should be selected and implanted depending on patient’s condition, surgical experience, surgical technique, and wound size.

  1. What is a Polytetrafluoroethylene Suture?
    Polytetrafluoroethylene, or PTFE, Suture is a synthetic non-absorbable surgical suture designed to provide long-term tissue approximation or fixation.
  2. Is PTFE Suture absorbable?
    No. PTFE Suture is non-absorbable and is intended to remain in the body where prolonged or permanent support is required.
  3. Where can PTFE Sutures be used?
    Depending on the product design and regulatory indication, PTFE sutures may be used in cardiovascular, dental, soft-tissue, and other surgical procedures requiring durable tissue support.
  4. What are the handling characteristics of PTFE Suture?
    PTFE material is generally known for its smooth surface and flexible handling characteristics. Exact performance depends on the suture construction and product specifications.
  5. Is PTFE Suture available in different sizes?
    Yes. PTFE Sutures may be available in multiple sizes, lengths, needle combinations, and configurations to meet different surgical requirements.
