The soft monofilament suture
Cytoplast® PTFE suture is an ideal suture for dental bone grafting and implant procedures where a soft monofilament suture is desirable. Cytoplast® PTFE suture's monofilament construction doesn't allow bacterial wicking into the surgical site, and unlike most monofilament sutures, patients like it because it is soft.
