Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) — Non-Absorbable Monofilament Surgical Suture
DemeTECH PTFE Suture is a monofilament synthetic, non-absorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of high-density polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). PTFE Suture is provided undyed (White) and contains no coatings, dyes, or additives.
PTFE suture is indicated for use in all types of soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including dental and general surgeries. PTFE suture is MR Safe.
DemeTECH PTFE suture meets all requirements established by the United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) for Nonabsorbable Surgical Suture, except for diameter.
More DetailsUnderstanding how PTFE Polytetrafluoroethylene behaves once placed in the body
PTFE suture has been shown in clinical trials to elicit a minimal reaction in tissues. PTFE suture is not absorbed, nor is any significant change in tensile strength retention known to occur in vivo.
The suture is supplied sterile in pre-cut lengths both with and without affixed needles of various straight and curved needle types, making it suitable for a wide range of soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures including dental and general surgery.
Clinical trials confirm that PTFE suture elicits only a minimal reaction in tissues — one of the most biocompatible suture materials available, supporting a low-response healing environment.
PTFE suture is not absorbed and remains permanently in tissue. Unlike metallic sutures, PTFE is classified as MR Safe, allowing patients to undergo MRI procedures without risk of interaction.
No significant change in tensile strength retention is known to occur in vivo — PTFE maintains its mechanical integrity indefinitely, providing permanent wound support.
DemeTECH's PTFE suture is a pure monofilament with no coatings, dyes, or additives — offering minimal tissue reaction and permanent MR Safe performance
DemeTECH PTFE Suture is a monofilament synthetic, non-absorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of high-density polytetrafluoroethylene. Provided undyed (White) and containing no coatings, dyes, or additives — PTFE is one of the most chemically inert and biocompatible suture materials available. Classified as MR Safe, it is suitable for a wide range of soft tissue applications including dental and general surgery.
Contains no coatings, dyes, or additives — composed entirely of high-density polytetrafluoroethylene, ensuring maximum chemical purity and predictable, consistent material properties.
PTFE suture is classified as MR Safe, allowing patients with implanted sutures to undergo MRI procedures without risk of suture heating, migration, or image distortion.
Provided as a monofilament — offering smooth, uniform tissue passage, reduced bacterial harbouring potential, and predictable handling characteristics throughout the procedure.
Confirmed in clinical trials to elicit only a minimal reaction in tissues — one of the lowest-reactivity synthetic suture materials available, supporting a clean healing environment.
No significant change in tensile strength retention is known to occur in vivo — PTFE maintains its mechanical integrity permanently, ideal for long-term wound closure applications.
Indicated for all types of soft tissue approximation and/or ligation including dental and general surgeries — providing surgeons with a versatile, biocompatible suture option.
