PTFE Sutures Manufacturer (Polytetrafluoroethylene)

PTFE Suture is a monofilament non-absorbable, extremely soft and smooth material composed of a strand of polytetrafluoroethylene. This material is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene that is very strong, knots well and biologically inert.

TEFLENE is a PTFE Suture brand manufactured by Dolphin Sutures from India. We are the first and only Indian brand to introduce PTFE sutures. Our products also CE certified with DNV GL Presafe, Norway. Our sutures are white in color and some of the SKUs are available with black needles for enhancing the visibility during the surgery.

PTFE Suture material has a very low friction coefficient, meaning it slides easily through tissue compared to other materials, thereby limiting the possibility of tissue damage. This feature, along with the monofilament construction, prevents the possibility of bacterial wicking into the surgical site.

Our Polytetrafluoroethylene sutures designed to be an ultra-soft, high density surgical suture making it an ideal choice for oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Features
- 100% Medical Grade PTFE which is biologically inert and highly bio-compatible.
- Monofilament structure does not allow bacteria wicking into the surgical site.
- Teflene sutures being non-absorbable keeps the surgical site reliably closed.
- Soft and flexible for patients (not stiff like most monofilaments).
- Teflene sutures are available from U.S.P. size 2-0 to size 6-0.
Advantages
- No package memory and Ultra-smooth surface.
- Excellent security with snug and flattened knot.
- High tensile strength.
- Proprietary construction reduces the potential for bacterial migration into the surgical site.
- Provides support to the tissues during the whole healing process unlike other absorbable sutures.
- Biologically inert and chemically non-reactive and decreased redness, and decreased inflammation around suture lines.
