Sutures

AHP Dental and Medical supplies dental sutures available in several types and sizes. Our dental sutures are sterile surgical threads made of various materials, including silk, nylon, PGA, and gut, used to close wounds or incisions in the mouth after dental procedures- such as extractions, implant surgeries and periodontal surgeries. Absorbable sutures dissolve naturally over time and do not require removal, while non-absorbable sutures must be removed manually after a certain period.

Dental sutures are typically used to hold the wound edges together until the tissues heal and can support each other. The sutures also help control bleeding, minimise swelling, and prevent infection.

The choice of suture material and technique will depend on various factors, such as the type and location of the wound, the patient's medical history, and the dentist's preference and experience. The dentist will select the most appropriate suture material and size based on the characteristics of the wound and the desired outcome.

Overall, dental sutures are an essential tool in modern dentistry that help close wounds and promote healing. They are used regularly in dental practices and clinics worldwide and have become standard practice.
