Description:

"The SK518R13 Rapid PGA 5/0 surgical suture is a high-quality absorbable suture specifically crafted for dental and soft tissue surgical procedures that demand precision and gentle handling. Constructed from polyglycolic acid (PGA), a biocompatible synthetic polymer, this suture provides dependable tensile strength throughout the essential wound healing phase while gradually being absorbed by the body's natural processes. This absorbable property removes the requirement for suture removal, thereby enhancing patient comfort and minimizing follow-up appointments.

The 5/0 size of the suture signifies a fine thread diameter, which allows for careful tissue approximation with minimal scarring while encouraging optimal healing results. It is especially appropriate for delicate oral tissues where precision is crucial. The suture is paired with an 18mm small needle that features a length of 13mm and a 3/8 circle reverse cutting design. The reverse cutting needle incorporates a cutting edge on the outer curve, facilitating smooth penetration and lessening the chances of needle deflection and tissue damage. This needle design is particularly effective in penetrating tough or dense tissues encountered during dental surgeries.

The undyed characteristic of the suture material minimizes the likelihood of tissue irritation and allergic responses, making it suitable for patients with sensitivities or those who prefer sutures with limited pigmentation. Its smooth surface improves handling, knot security, and overall ease of use for dental surgeons.

Perfect for oral surgeons, periodontists, and general dental practitioners, the SK518R13 Rapid PGA 5/0 suture enables efficient wound closure while promoting outstanding healing. Its combination of innovative needle design, absorbable material, and biocompatibility guarantees superior clinical results and patient satisfaction across various dental surgical procedures."
