Hu-Friedy Perma Sharp Suture 3-0 PTFE White 18″ C-6 Reverse Cut Needle

Description

Product Overview

The Hu‑Friedy Perma Sharp Suture 3‑0 PTFE white is engineered for professionals who demand precision, reliability, and ease of use in both dental and broader surgical environments. Constructed from high‑purity polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), the suture offers an exceptionally low coefficient of friction, allowing the filament to glide effortlessly through tissue without dragging or causing unnecessary trauma. Each suture measures 18 inches (45.7 cm) in length, providing ample material for a variety of procedural needs while maintaining a manageable size for handling. The needle is a C‑6 reverse‑cut design, featuring a 3/8 circle curvature that facilitates smooth entry and exit through dense or delicate tissue planes, reducing the risk of needle stick injuries and improving knot security. The white coloration of the PTFE filament enhances visual contrast against the surrounding tissue, enabling clinicians to monitor suture placement and tension accurately throughout the procedure. This product complies with stringent medical device standards, ensuring sterility, biocompatibility, and consistent performance across multiple batches.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of applications, the Perma Sharp Suture is ideal for periodontal surgeries, implant placements, oral mucosal repairs, and other intra‑oral procedures where delicate tissue handling is paramount. Its PTFE composition also makes it suitable for minor dermatologic surgeries, ophthalmic suturing, and microsurgical techniques that benefit from a smooth, non‑reactive filament. The C‑6 reverse‑cut needle provides a balanced combination of strength and flexibility, allowing clinicians to navigate tight anatomical spaces, such as the gingival sulcus or sub‑periosteal layers, with confidence. The suture’s 3‑0 gauge offers sufficient tensile strength for secure wound closure while remaining thin enough to minimize tissue reaction and scarring. Whether used in single‑stage implant protocols, guided tissue regeneration, or routine suturing of soft tissue incisions, this product delivers consistent knot holding capacity and predictable absorption characteristics, supporting optimal healing outcomes.

FAQ

What makes PTFE sutures different from traditional nylon sutures?

PTFE sutures have a lower coefficient of friction, which means they glide more smoothly through tissue, reducing trauma and improving patient comfort compared to nylon, which can be more abrasive.

Can the C‑6 reverse‑cut needle be used for both soft and hard tissue?

Yes, the C‑6 reverse‑cut needle is designed to penetrate both soft tissue and denser structures such as periosteum, offering versatility for a variety of surgical applications.

Is this suture suitable for patients with latex allergies?

Absolutely. PTFE is a synthetic polymer that does not contain latex, making it safe for patients with latex sensitivities.

How should the sutures be stored to maintain sterility?

Store the sutures in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the packaging sealed until use to preserve sterility.

What warranty or guarantee does Hu‑Friedy provide?

Hu‑Friedy offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects, and our customer service team is ready to address any concerns or product issues promptly.
