Oral Surgery Sutures

Absorbable and non-absorbable sutures for oral surgery

Dental sutures are used to close wounds and secure tissues during oral surgeries and dental implant procedures. The choice of suture depends on the wound's biological structure, the surgeon's technique, and the desired properties of the suture.

Some common types of dental sutures include

Nylon: A synthetic, monofilament suture ideal for dental surgery
Polyglycolic acid: A synthetic, absorbable suture made of 100% glycolide
Silk: A cost-effective, braided suture material with elasticity that maintains strong, secure knots
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene): A biologically inert suture, preferred for dental implants due to its minimal tissue reaction
Chromic gut: A natural, absorbable suture with a twisted multifilament structure, offering moderate tensile strength
Poliglecaprone (PGCL): A synthetic, absorbable monofilament suture designed for rapid absorption and minimal tissue drag

The simple interrupted suture technique remains the most common in dentistry. This method involves placing individual sutures along the wound edge, ensuring each stitch is tied securely to promote proper healing.

RTMED offers an extensive portfolio of absorbable and non-absorbable sutures, enabling dental and maxillofacial surgeons to achieve optimal surgical outcomes. Our sutures provide exceptional handling, secure closure, and reliable tissue support across various oral surgical procedures.
