Look 422B PolySyn PGA Undyed Reverse Cutting Sutures C6 4-0 27 12/Bx

Description

Product Overview

Look 422B PolySyn PGA sutures are engineered for professional dental and surgical environments where precision, reliability, and patient comfort are paramount. These sutures are undyed, eliminating any potential for color‑related tissue reactions, and feature a braided construction that balances tensile strength with flexibility. The reverse cutting C6 needle, measuring 19 mm with a 3/8‑circle curvature, provides a smooth entry path that reduces tissue drag, allowing clinicians to place sutures quickly and accurately. The absorbable polymer composition maintains approximately 50% of its original tensile strength for up to two weeks and 20% for three weeks, ensuring sufficient support during the critical early phases of wound healing before the material safely degrades. Each package includes a single C6 needle, making it a convenient, ready‑to‑use solution for a variety of oral and maxillofacial procedures.

Usage

These sutures are ideally suited for a broad range of dental and surgical applications, including periodontal flap closures, implant site suturing, oral soft‑tissue graft fixation, and minor oral surgeries. The undyed, low‑friction coating minimizes patient discomfort and reduces the risk of inflammatory responses, which is especially important in sensitive oral tissues. The reverse cutting design of the C6 needle enables clinicians to navigate curved anatomical structures with ease, making it an excellent choice for procedures that require precise angulation, such as suturing around dental implants or in confined surgical sites. Because the sutures retain significant strength during the first two weeks, they provide reliable wound support during the most vulnerable healing period, after which they are naturally absorbed, eliminating the need for suture removal.

Why Choose Us

Choosing Look 422B means selecting a product that combines high‑quality materials with thoughtful design to meet the exacting standards of dental professionals. The undyed polymer eliminates any risk of discoloration or allergic reaction, while the braided structure offers a balance of strength and pliability that is difficult to achieve with monofilament alternatives. Our manufacturing process adheres to stringent quality control protocols, ensuring each suture meets consistent performance criteria and regulatory standards. Additionally, the reverse cutting C6 needle is precision‑engineered to provide a smooth, low‑friction passage through tissue, reducing operative time and enhancing patient comfort. We stand behind our product with responsive customer support and a commitment to continuous improvement based on practitioner feedback.

FAQ

What does “reverse cutting” mean and why is it beneficial?

Reverse cutting refers to a needle design where the cutting edge is positioned on the opposite side of the needle tip, allowing it to cut tissue while moving in the direction of insertion. This design reduces the amount of force required to penetrate tissue, resulting in less tissue trauma, lower postoperative pain, and a smoother suturing experience for the clinician.

How long does the suture retain its strength after placement?

The suture maintains approximately 50% of its original tensile strength for up to two weeks, providing reliable support during the early phase of wound healing. By the third week, it retains about 20% of its initial strength, after which the material begins to be absorbed by the body, eliminating the need for removal.

Can these sutures be used for procedures other than dental surgeries?

Yes, while they are optimized for dental and oral procedures, the undyed, absorbable, and low‑friction characteristics make them suitable for a variety of minor surgical applications where tissue compatibility and gentle handling are important, such as skin closures in minor dermatologic surgeries.

What size does the C6 needle correspond to, and is it compatible with standard needle holders?

The C6 needle measures 19 mm in length with a 3/8‑circle curvature, which is a common size for intra‑oral and maxillofacial procedures. It is compatible with standard needle holders used in dental and surgical settings, allowing seamless integration into existing instrument kits.

Is there any special storage requirement for these sutures?

The sutures should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Maintaining a stable temperature between 15 °C and 25 °C (59 °F‑77 °F) helps preserve the polymer’s integrity and ensures consistent performance when the product is used.
