Advantages and Surgical Applications of Unify® Polypropylene Sutures

Polypro sutures are ideal in surgical applications where maximum tensile strength and durability are key requirements.

Made from a non-absorbable synthetic monofilament, polypropylene surgical sutures can last the lifetime of recovery. Dental procedures expected to heal within a matter of weeks or months are ideal for these 100% medical-grade sutures from Unify®. Tensile strength is uncompromised throughout the lifetime of the suture, ensuring that surgical sites remain closed for as long as is necessary.

As non-absorbable sutures, polypro sutures cause minimal tissue reaction. The surface is smooth and creates only minor trauma when traveling through tissue. The smooth penetration and threading are aided by ultra-sharp Unify® needle points that have been coated with a microscopic layer of silicone. Sutures are bound to needles with a drill end press fit, ensuring a durable connection that remains intact throughout the stitching process.

Polypropylene sutures are typically colored blue and are sometimes referred to simply as blue sutures in the medical community. Blue improves visibility while suturing and is also used as a quick reference for the suture type during removal. This can be helpful when a patient passes through several dental professionals from the initial procedure, right through to full recovery.

Surgical applications for blue sutures include:

• Multiple tooth extractions with large incisions.
• Wisdom tooth removal.
• Dental implant surgery.
• Bone grafting surgery.

For a durable and 100% medical-grade polypropylene suture, insist on affordable Unify® sutures.

Technical Properties of Unify® Polypro Sutures

Polypropylene sutures are formed with an inert thermoplastic material that maintains its structure when exposed to base fluids, acids, and solvents. Polypropylene can degrade when exposed to ultraviolet light, which is atypical when used in a dental procedure context.

Sutures must be stored in a dark and cool storage space to preserve tensile strength and durability. Unify® sutures are expertly packed to prevent damage in transit and while in storage. Our sutures exceed all requirements and standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and the United States Pharmacopeial Convention.

Polypropylene monofilament has anti-inflammatory properties to inhibit trauma and discomfort around the surgical site. Following suturing, the thread can expand by up to 30%. This offers two significant benefits to patients and dental surgeons. Primarily, expansion prevents tissue damage if the suture tightens after it has been placed. The expansion also promotes blood flow, which can help to support the surgical site with rapid healing time.

Due to the non-degradable properties, Unify® polypro sutures can be encapsulated by tissue if left over an extended period of time. In some cases, the suture can remain intact indefinitely if there is no risk of tissue irritation. Surgeons should consider the length of healing along with the long-life duration of blue sutures. Dissolvable sutures may be preferred if the healing duration is expected over a matter of days, as they require minimal aftercare and, in some cases, a follow-up visit can be avoided altogether.
