Cytoplast PTFE Non Resorbable Sutures 4/0 - P-3 / 3/8 Circle / 13mm - 18" (Undyed)

Description:

Cytoplast PTFE Non-Resorbable Sutures 4/0 are designed for dental surgical applications where a non-resorbable suture material is required. This configuration uses a P-3 needle with a 3/8-circle shape and a 13 mm needle size, paired with an 18-inch undyed PTFE suture. The product is supplied as 12 threads per box. The suture material is d-PTFE, a non-resorbable material commonly used in dental procedures where the clinician wants a suture that remains intact until it is removed or otherwise managed according to the applicable clinical protocol. According to the manufacturer, the material is designed to minimize bacterial wicking into the surgical site and provides a soft feel compared with many other monofilament sutures.

The suture is also designed to provide good handling characteristics and knot security with little or no package memory. These characteristics can be useful when precise positioning and controlled closure are important during dental surgical procedures. The P-3 needle configuration provides a specific needle geometry intended for the product's designated applications, while the 3/8-circle design supports controlled needle passage through appropriate tissue. The 4/0 size provides a relatively fine suture option for procedures where a smaller diameter is appropriate.

Dental professionals should determine whether this suture size, needle design, and material are suitable for the specific procedure based on clinical requirements and manufacturer instructions. Proper surgical technique, tissue handling, sterile technique, and post-operative care remain essential when using any suture material. Cytoplast PTFE sutures are part of a broader range of Cytoplast surgical biomaterials and are intended to support dental surgical and implant-related workflows. Understanding the suture material, needle configuration, length, size, and packaging helps dental teams select the appropriate product before a procedure. The product should always be used according to its official instructions for use and applicable professional standards.
