Dental Sutures are sterile, single-use needle-and-thread sets for closing oral wounds after extractions, implants, grafts, and periodontal surgery. Available in absorbable and non-absorbable materials with monofilament or braided options, they offer reliable knot security and precise handling in tight spaces. Choose the size and needle curvature that fit your technique to protect the site, control bleeding, and promote clean, predictable healing. A dependable choice for everyday oral surgery.
Description
Suture (Dental Suture) is a sterile, single-use thread and needle set designed to approximate oral tissues after extractions, periodontal procedures, grafting, and implant surgery. The goal is simple: secure, predictable wound closure that protects the site, controls bleeding, and supports faster, cleaner healing. Dental sutures are available in absorbable and non-absorbable options, with monofilament or braided constructions and a range of needle curvatures for precise placement in tight intraoral spaces.
Key features and benefits:
-
Choice of materials for case-by-case control: absorbable (e.g., synthetic braided or monofilament) for sites where removal is inconvenient, and non-absorbable (e.g., nylon, polypropylene, PTFE, silk) for prolonged support and crisp knot security.
-
Monofilament options resist plaque adherence and slide smoothly through tissue; braided options provide excellent handling and knot reliability.
-
Reverse-cutting, 3/8-circle and 1/2-circle needles commonly used in oral surgery for accurate penetration with minimal tearing.
-
Offered in multiple USP sizes to match tissue thickness and tension requirements.
-
Packaged sterile for single use; compatible with standard aseptic technique.
Typical applications:
-
Socket closure after simple or surgical extraction.
-
Stabilizing flaps in periodontal surgery and crown-lengthening.
-
Securing membranes and grafts in guided bone or tissue regeneration.
-
Closing crestal incisions in implant placement and second-stage surgery.
How it compares:
-
Versus tissue adhesives: sutures provide stronger, directed tension and three-dimensional control.
-
Versus staples or clips: sutures are more precise in the confined oral field and easier to tailor around delicate anatomy.
Quality note:
-
Professional buyers typically select variants manufactured under recognized medical device quality systems and complying with accepted biocompatibility and sterility standards. Review size, material, and absorption profile to match clinical preference.
