Omnia PTFE sutures are soft,biologically inert and chemically non-reactive, providing excellent bio- compatibility. Main features of PTFE sutures are a great flu- ency of the thread along the tissues, strong knot holding, and a stable long-term quality. Compared to other monofila- ment synthetic sutures, this material is highly tolerated in the oral cavity. Further, PTFE sutures are ideal to limit inflammation,bleeding and other collateral effects which may occur during the soft tissue approximation. Albeit resistant, PTFE sutures are thus both comfortable and soft for the patient. These sutures are available in different combina- tionsofdiameterandlengthwithdifferentkindsof needles. Omnia PTFE sutures are ideal for any implant, periodontal and bone graft surgery wheretheusageofamonofilamentsu- ture with low bacterial adhesion is recommended. PTFE sutures are availableinconvenientboxesof12 pieces/each. Omnia SpA Via F.
