Look 931B Nylon Black Monofilament Sutures C17 3/8 Circle 4-0 12mm

Description

Product Overview

The Look 931B black monofilament sutures are engineered for high‑performance wound closure in dental and broader surgical settings. Constructed from premium nylon, the sutures deliver a smooth, low‑friction glide that minimizes tissue trauma while maintaining strong tensile strength. Each suture is paired with a reverse cutting C17 needle featuring a 3/8 circle curvature and a 12 mm shaft length, optimized for precise entry and controlled depth. The 4‑0 gauge provides a balance of handling ease and knot security, making it suitable for delicate mucosal tissues as well as tougher connective layers.

Manufactured by LOOK TM, a recognized name in professional dental supplies, the product meets stringent quality standards and is backed by a robust supply chain that ensures consistency across batches. The black color of the monofilament not only offers visual contrast against tissue but also helps clinicians track suture placement during procedures, reducing the risk of retained material.

Usage

These sutures are ideal for a range of dental procedures, including periodontal flap surgeries, implant site closures, and soft‑tissue grafting. The reverse cutting needle design allows the suture to cut through tissue on withdrawal, providing a clean exit path that reduces tearing and promotes faster healing. The 3/8 circle curvature is specifically chosen for intra‑oral access, enabling clinicians to navigate confined spaces without excessive hand strain.

Beyond dentistry, the sutures perform well in minor oral maxillofacial surgeries, skin closures, and small‑to‑medium soft‑tissue repairs where a fine gauge is required. The 12 mm needle length offers sufficient reach for most intra‑oral applications while remaining short enough to maintain control in tight operative fields. The sutures are sterilized and ready for immediate use, supporting efficient workflow in busy clinical environments.

Why Choose Us

Choosing Look 931B sutures means selecting a product that combines material excellence with thoughtful design. The nylon monofilament is resistant to bacterial colonization, reducing infection risk, and its non‑absorbable nature ensures long‑term stability when permanent suturing is required. Each needle undergoes a bending‑resistant treatment, guaranteeing that the tip retains its shape even after multiple passes through dense tissue.

Our quality assurance process includes rigorous testing for tensile strength, knot security, and needle sharpness, adhering to international standards for medical devices. In addition, LOOK TM provides responsive customer support, offering technical assistance, replacement policies, and guidance on best practices for suture handling and storage.

FAQ

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

A reverse cutting needle cuts tissue on withdrawal rather than on insertion, which creates a smoother entry path and less trauma to surrounding structures. This design is especially beneficial in delicate oral tissues where preserving blood supply is critical.

Can these sutures be used for absorbable applications?

No. The Look 931B sutures are non‑absorbable nylon, intended for permanent or long‑term closure where durability is required. For absorbable needs, other product lines should be selected.

Is the black color purely aesthetic, or does it have a functional purpose?

The black coloration provides high contrast against pink or red tissue, making it easier for clinicians to visualize suture placement and ensure complete removal when necessary. It also helps in identifying any retained suture fragments during postoperative checks.

What sterilization method is used for these sutures?

The sutures are sterilized using a validated gamma radiation process that maintains the integrity of the nylon material and the needle tip while achieving a high level of microbial reduction.

Are there any special storage requirements?

Store the sutures in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the packaging sealed until use to preserve sterility and prevent moisture absorption, which could affect the monofilament’s handling characteristics.
