Look 922B black monofilament Rev Cutting Sutures 3/8 Circle 4-0 18in

Description

Product Overview

The Look 922B sutures are engineered from high‑grade nylon monofilament, delivering a smooth, low‑friction surface that minimizes tissue trauma during passage. Each suture incorporates a reverse cutting 3/8 circle needle, a geometry that allows the needle to cut through dense tissue while preserving the integrity of the suture material. The 4‑0 size provides a balance of strength and finesse, making it suitable for delicate oral procedures as well as broader surgical applications. With an 18‑inch (45 cm) length, the suture offers ample runway for knot tying and multiple passes without compromising sterility.

Manufactured by LOOK TM, a recognized name in professional dental and surgical supplies, these sutures meet stringent ISO standards for tensile strength, knot security, and biocompatibility. The black coloration of the monofilament not only provides visual contrast against tissue but also indicates a UV‑stabilized polymer that resists degradation over time. Packaged in a convenient 12‑piece set, each suture is individually sealed to maintain a sterile barrier until the moment of use.

Usage

These sutures are ideal for a wide range of dental and surgical procedures, including periodontal flap closures, extraction site suturing, oral implant placement, and soft‑tissue graft fixation. The reverse cutting needle design enables clinicians to navigate fibrous or scarred tissue with reduced force, decreasing the risk of needle breakage and improving overall procedural efficiency. The 4‑0 diameter offers sufficient tensile strength for holding tension while remaining thin enough to minimize patient discomfort and promote rapid healing.

In addition to dental applications, the Look 922B sutures perform well in minor skin closures, cosmetic procedures, and small‑incision general surgery where precision and low tissue drag are paramount. The monofilament construction reduces bacterial wicking, making these sutures a reliable choice for contaminated or infection‑prone sites. Their versatility, combined with a consistent knot‑holding capacity, supports both simple interrupted sutures and more complex suturing techniques such as vertical mattress or horizontal mattress patterns.

FAQ

What makes the reverse cutting needle different from a standard cutting needle?

A reverse cutting needle has the cutting edge on the inner curvature, allowing it to cut tissue while the outer surface slides smoothly, reducing the risk of tearing or excessive trauma compared to a standard cutting needle.

Are these sutures suitable for patients with latex allergies?

Yes. The sutures are made from nylon monofilament, which contains no latex proteins, making them safe for patients with latex sensitivities.

How should the sutures be stored to maintain sterility?

Keep the sutures in their original sealed packaging until use. Store them in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, and avoid exposing them to temperatures above 30 °C (86 °F).

Can the Look 922B sutures be used for both interrupted and continuous suturing techniques?

Absolutely. The 4‑0 size and flexible monofilament allow clinicians to employ a variety of techniques, including simple interrupted, continuous running, and mattress sutures, adapting to the specific needs of each procedure.

What is the recommended needle removal technique to avoid suture damage?

After completing the knot, gently pull the needle back through the tissue in the same direction of entry, using a steady, controlled motion. This helps preserve the integrity of the monofilament and prevents fraying.
