The Vitality™ 6-0 PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) Suture is a non-absorbable monofilament suture designed for advanced oral surgical procedures requiring minimal tissue response and bacterial adhesion. Its biologically inert, chemically stable properties make it ideal for implant placement, periodontal treatments, and bone grafting where clean healing is critical.
Soft and smooth, this suture enhances patient comfort while reducing inflammation and bleeding during soft tissue closure. Compared to other synthetic monofilament sutures, PTFE is highly tolerated in the oral environment and promotes precision wound healing with fewer post-op complications.
