Coreflon

hough soft tissues minimizing the trauma involved with stitching.
- The surgical knot made with a PTFE suture is durable, does not loosen and the ends of the suture do not cause irritation of the cheeck, lips and tongue, unlike suture materials based on various monofilament fibres, which additionally may contribute to the formation of viral changes on mucous membrane such as aphthous stomatitis, cause additional pain and hinder the healing of the wound.
- In contrast to braided sutures, especially those made from absorbable materials, PTFE sutures are hydrophobic; they do not absorb blood, saliva, bacteria and food residues, due to which they promote wound healing per primam intentionem - the fastest and the most desirable wound healing process.
- Although it is a soft and delicate suture, Coreflon firmly supports tissues during the whole healing process, in contrast to braided absorbable materials which - among other problems - maintain tissues only in the early stages of healing (due to the presence of multiple enzymes in the mouth). Coreflon is made of a smooth material called dPTFE (dense PTFE), whose structure additionally limits the accumulation of bacteria and food residues. A suture is described as intelligent when it is elastic and adaptable to the volume of soft tissues, which changes during a healing process. Another innovative solution is the combination of a white PTFE thread with a black needle, which ensures excellent visibility in the surgical field. Thanks to this solution we can precisely determine the direction of the needle when it passes through the skin, because the black needle is well visible under soft tissue. Our surgical needles are made of very high quality steel with unique chemical composition. Coreflons' needles maintain sharp cutting surface during stitching, which ensures better precision of surgery. They do not undergo distortion even when used for a very hard tissue such as a post-operative scar. The way in which the needle is mounted, that is a smooth transition between the needle and the thread, contribute to minimizing the sewed tissue trauma. The idea of Coreflon product was born in response to the ever increasing interest in the subject of minimally invasive dental implantology generally accepted by patients. Unique qualities of Coreflon, which provide patient’s comfort and guarantee precision of the surgery, will meet even the highest expectations. PTFE thread characteristics guarantee a safe and comfortable surgery. Coreflon is addressed to specialists in the field of dentistry and plastic surgery, laryngology and gynecology.
