Non-absorbable dental sutures

Controlled support for periodontal and oral surgery procurement.

Browse sterile non-absorbable dental sutures for professional periodontal, implant and oral surgery requirements. Compare ETHILON nylon and PROLENE polypropylene by USP size, strand length, colour and needle configuration.

B2B

For professional business customers only

Product selection and removal planning must be made by a suitably qualified dental professional. Sterile sutures are normally non-cancellable and non-returnable once supplied, except where faulty or supplied incorrectly.

Read the returns policy

Why non-absorbable

Material that remains until clinically managed.

Non-absorbable describes the material profile, not a universal indication or removal schedule. The selected product, closure technique and follow-up plan remain clinical decisions.

01

Non-absorbable profile

The suture is not designed to be broken down by the body within a defined absorption period.

02

Clinician-planned removal

Where removal is required, its timing is determined by the treating clinician and the individual case.

03

Monofilament choices

The live range includes nylon and polypropylene single-strand product families.

04

Fine specification options

Compare multiple fine USP sizes, strand lengths and cutting or selected non-cutting needles.

Material routes

Start with the prescribed suture family.

The current department is led by ETHILON nylon and PROLENE polypropylene. PTFE products are available through a related specialist collection. Each family has distinct product characteristics and must not be assumed equivalent.

Nylon monofilament

ETHILON

Non-absorbable nylon sutures in black and selected undyed configurations, with fine USP sizes and several cutting needle options.

View the ETHILON guide
Polypropylene monofilament

PROLENE

Blue non-absorbable polypropylene sutures across several gauges, strand lengths and cutting or selected non-cutting needles.

Product matching

Match every part of the reference.

Products with the same material name can still differ by gauge, colour, strand length, needle profile and pack quantity. Use the complete manufacturer code whenever possible.

If a code is unavailable or discontinued, request an approved alternative rather than assuming another non-absorbable suture is interchangeable.

  • MaterialConfirm nylon, polypropylene or another specified polymer.
  • ConstructionCheck monofilament or braided construction.
  • USP sizeMatch the prescribed suture gauge exactly.
  • StrandCheck colour, length and any product coating.
  • Needle pointConfirm cutting, reverse cutting or non-cutting profile.
  • Needle geometryCheck curvature, length and designation.
  • Product codeUse the complete manufacturer reference.
  • Pack quantityConfirm units per box before comparing price.

Procedure-led navigation

Procure against the approved clinical requirement.

01

Periodontal flap procedures

Compare the specified material, fine gauge and needle for periodontal soft-tissue closure requirements.

02

Mucogingival procedures

Use the clinician-approved strand and needle configuration for the planned technique and site.

03

Papilla and aesthetic sites

Browse fine suture combinations where precise tissue positioning has been specified by the clinician.

Non-absorbable dental sutures FAQ

Common purchasing questions.

This page supports catalogue navigation only. Follow the qualified clinician specification, local protocol and manufacturer instructions for use.

What does non-absorbable mean?

It describes a suture material that is not designed to be absorbed by the body within a defined absorption period. It does not define one universal use or removal schedule.

Which materials are prominent here?

The live department is led by ETHILON nylon and PROLENE polypropylene monofilament products across multiple sizes and needle configurations.

When should a dental suture be removed?

Removal need and timing are clinical decisions based on the exact product, procedure, tissue response, local protocol and manufacturer instructions.

Are nylon and polypropylene interchangeable?

No. Material, gauge, strand length, needle configuration and handling characteristics must all match the approved specification.

Can sterile sutures be returned?

Sterile and medically sensitive products are normally non-returnable and non-cancellable once supplied, except where faulty or supplied incorrectly. Review the returns policy.

Can you support repeat orders?

Yes. Dental practices, implant centres and professional organisations can provide product codes and expected quantities for repeat-order planning.
