The PROFIMED-PTFE surgical suture is a sterilized monofilament non-absorbable suture made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) polymer. It is indicated for the retention of soft tissues in contact or approximation, for use in cardiovascular and dental procedures.

The use of PROFIMED-PTFE is not indicated for ophthalmic procedures, microsurgery, and peripheral nerve tissue. After implantation, it causes minimal local tissue inflammation, characterized by a reaction to a foreign body, followed by the development of fibrous connective tissue.

Applications in dentistry:

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

Features:

• 100% pure PTFE (no additives or substances added)
• Excellent biocompatibility, biologically and chemically inert
• Monofilament texture that prevents bacteria growth
• Ideal for graft applications
• Very soft for ease of handling and to avoid trauma
• High tensile strength
• Free from APHO, posing no health risk
• Surface structure that prevents merging with skin and tissues
• Hydrophobic and oleophobic (no blood infiltration)
• Extremely low friction coefficient for skin and tissue protection
• Flexible material with a reduced reaction in the mouth
