This LuxSutures® LuxPTFE Dental Monofilament Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture, product code PT60DS16, is designed for precise oral soft tissue closure where enhanced penetration and secure wound edge alignment are required. Manufactured from high-purity polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) monofilament, LuxPTFE provides ultra-smooth tissue passage, minimal tissue reaction and reliable long-term tensile strength retention.

The USP 6-0 size offers fine tensile control ideal for implant procedures, guided bone regeneration (GBR) and periodontal flap management requiring delicate but secure tissue approximation. The 60 cm white strand ensures optimal visibility and controlled knot placement within refined oral surgical environments.

PT60DS16 is supplied single-armed with one DS16 reverse cutting needle measuring approximately 16 mm with a 3/8 circle curvature. The reverse cutting configuration enhances penetration through keratinised gingiva and tougher oral tissues while reducing the risk of tissue cut-through and supporting precise wound edge adaptation.

Supplied sterile and single-use in a box of 12 sutures for professional dental and implant surgery use.
