Dental Sutures

Wound closure in oral surgery

B. Braun is one of the world's leading manufacturers of medical technology and pharmaceutical products and services. As one of the oldest manufacturers of surgical sutures, B. Braun combines decades of experience with state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies. With our own production facilities in Europe, we ensure the supply of sutures to hospitals and medical practices even in difficult times.

In addition to the surgical technique, the suture technique and the suture material used are decisive for optimal wound healing. Particularly in dentistry, increased requirements apply due to the potential germ load. In addition, the surgical suture must achieve sufficient stabilization of the wound without negatively affecting the healing process through unnecessary traumatization of the tissue or excessive tensile forces on the wound edges.
B. Braun offers suitable needle/thread combinations for the various indications of periodontal surgery, implantology and oral surgery.
Benefit from our extensive range of high-quality suture material and our expertise for over 100 years.

Dermaslide® micro needle

Advantages of the Dermaslide® micro needle:

  • Excellent tissue penetration [1]
  • High bending performance [1]
  • Sharper after multiple stitches compared to a classical cutting needle [2]
  • Designed to improve the stability of the needle in the grasp of the needle-holder [3]
