What Is Vitality™ 6-0 Polypropylene Suture Used For?

Vitality™ 6-0 Polypropylene Sutures are designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation in dental and oral surgery procedures that require extended suture retention. As a non-absorbable, monofilament suture, it offers excellent biocompatibility and knot security with minimal tissue reactivity.

This suture is especially suitable for:

  • Mucogingival and periodontal surgeries

  • Free gingival and connective tissue grafts

  • Guided bone regeneration (GBR)

  • Soft tissue closure in areas requiring long-term support
