Description
LOOK™ Polypropylene sutures provide clinicians with a premium non-absorbable monofilament option designed for long-term wound support and a low risk of bacterial adherence. Made from inert, medical-grade polypropylene, these sutures offer exceptional biocompatibility, minimal tissue reaction, and dependable performance across a wide range of oral and periodontal surgical procedures.
Polypropylene’s smooth monofilament structure ensures clean tissue passage and secure knot placement, while its permanent tensile strength makes it ideal for cases where prolonged wound stability is required.
Key Features
Non-absorbable monofilament made from medical-grade polypropylene.
Extremely low tissue reactivity and minimal bacterial adherence — one of the lowest inflammatory profiles of all suture materials.
Permanent tensile strength retention — does not degrade over time.
Smooth surface allows easy passage and reduces tissue trauma.
Secure knotting with stable, predictable behavior in oral tissues.
Non-wicking monofilament construction — preferred over braided sutures around implants and grafts.
Common Dental Use Cases
Periodontal surgery — stable long-term support for delicate gingival tissues.
Implant & graft sites — non-wicking properties reduce bacterial risk around implants and membranes.
Complex extractions & frenectomy — reliable closure when absorbable sutures may degrade too quickly.
Any case requiring non-absorbable material with deliberate clinician-controlled removal.
