PTFE Sutures
UNIFY® PTFE Surgical Sutures
- AD Surgical PTFE Sutures are the ideal suture for plastic, cosmetic and oral surgery
- Similar configurations to discontinued Gore-Tex® suture
- Very smooth surface, resulting in minimal tissue trauma
- Little or no package memory, soft handling, and knots securely
- Maintains tensile strength, perfect for suspension procedures
- Soft and flexible for patients (not stiff like most monofilaments)
- Biologically inert and chemically non-reactive
- Ultra sharp needle point for atraumatic tissue penetration
- Needle coated with silicone for smooth tissue passage
- Thread type: Monofilament
- White, Uncoated
- Strength duration: life time
- Absorb duration: N/A
For the PTFE sutures, they are excellent. I have used 5 different sizes, they maintained the sharpness until the end.
