Description
LOOK PTFE Sutures A monofilament polytetrafluoroethylene suture range that holds PTFE is non-absorbable, so the strand keeps its form in tissue rather than breaking down. This page carries it in USP sizes 6-0 to 2-0, across 9 needle and length configurations that Surgical Specialties lists for the LOOK line. Each configuration is a genuine LOOK reference supplied in a box of 12, so reordering the exact strand and needle combination is a reference-number match.

- Needle Strength Behind Every Pass – LOOK needles are forged from a proprietary stainless steel alloy of iron, nickel and chromium, balanced for strength, ductility and hardness.
- 9 Configurations on One Page – Reverse Cutting, Taper Point needles in USP sizes 6-0 to 2-0 sit behind the options below, each with its own reference number.
- Box of 12 – Supplied 12 per box, and the price shown covers the full box as listed.
LOOK PTFE Suture Range in USP sizes 6-0 to 2-0
The strand is polytetrafluoroethylene, built as a monofilament suture, and the Surgical Specialties material guide rates it at PTFE is non-absorbable, so the strand keeps its form in tissue rather than breaking down. On absorption, the same guide records that the material is not absorbed by the body, which is the profile to plan removal and follow-up around. The catalog lists this material for dental surgery and general surgery, and the LOOK range answers that spread with 9 configurations in USP sizes 6-0 to 2-0. Needle choice drives much of the handling, and this page runs reverse cutting, taper point needles across its lengths, each option labeled with its needle code and size. The range comes from one of the best known and most trusted suture brands on the market, and the manufacturer states its needles are made for consistent strength and durability through every pass.
Features and Benefits
Material Performance
- Documented Strength Profile – The manufacturer publishes the in vivo retention figures for PTFE in its catalog material guide, so the working life is a specification, not an estimate.
- Monofilament Construction – Built monofilament in polytetrafluoroethylene, the construction the catalog assigns to this material.
Needles and Configurations
- Reverse Cutting Needles – Reverse cutting needles carry a triangular point with the cutting edge on the outer curvature, the geometry the catalog assigns to skin closure and to ligamentous or fibrous tissue.
- Taper Point Needles – Taper point needles have a round shaft with no cutting edge, made for soft tissue such as fascia, vascular and gastrointestinal tissue.
- Full Range on One Page – 9 configurations in USP sizes 6-0 to 2-0 sit behind one dropdown, and every option is a real reference that ships as labeled.

Why Choose This PTFE Suture
Plenty of suture ranges publish a size chart and stop there. This one publishes its retention and absorption figures in the manufacturer catalog, cross-references the material to the brand most preference cards already carry, and keeps 9 configurations behind a single page. That makes the switch a documentation exercise instead of a trial-and-error order.
- Published Performance, Not Promises – Retention and absorption for PTFE are printed in the Surgical Specialties material guide, so the care team plans around documented behavior.
- Needles Built as Instruments – LOOK needles are forged from a proprietary stainless steel alloy of iron, nickel and chromium, balanced for strength, ductility and hardness, which is where pass-after-pass consistency comes from.
- A Specialist Material – PTFE is soft and supple with minimal package memory per the catalog, the handling profile dental work asks for.
- Exact Reordering – Every configuration carries its own LOOK reference number, so the next order is a code match rather than a description match.
