HOW TO READ THE INFORMATION ON THE BLISTER
Each Omnia's suture is protected by two blister: the first, in medical paper, reports manufacturing information such as date of sterilization and the production batch for an easy tracking, and the second containing all the information of the specific suture as shown in the figure below.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE THREAD
The Omnia's sutures have an atramautic strand being directly connected to the needle, the sizes covered range from 2/0 to 6/0.
Each wire is coated with a color specially designed to be as visible as possible on the surgical field, so as not to create confusion between the different materials according to this scheme:
- PGA ---- Purple
- Poliestere --- Green
- PTFE --- White
- Seta --- Black
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NEEDLE
Omnia offers several types of needle depending on the type of intervention that must be carried out.
The needles are classified according to the flow characteristics of the tip, thus obtaining:
 |

 |
 |
|
The HRT needle has a quadrangular pyramid-shaped point and a round body. This particular shape allows any easy penetration of soft tissues without causing lacerations, and preventing the needle from rotating in the needle-holder. This needle is appreciated and suitable for oral surgery. |
The HR needle is mainly used for soft tissues, and is characterized by a good penetration of tissues without causing lacerations or tissue damage. |
The HS needle is also known as “triangular” needle, since it has cutting edges on the sides and outer curve. Due to its cutting edges, this needle easily penetrates tissues and is suitable for almost all uses. It provides an excellent penetration capacity and great solidity, and is t for sutures with periosteum incision and in case of thick mucosa |
The EXTRASHARP needle is designed specifically for surgery, where cosmetic results are important. Two sides sharpened thin point that allows a smooth and progressive penetration through the tissues and reduces the danger of tissue cutout. |

Dr. Daniele Cardaropoli “The concept for success in periodontal and implant surgery is related to the ability of perfectly performing every single step of the procedure. Starting from this point, the flap design, the line of incision, the split or full-thickness elevation are not the only critical stages of the surgery, but also the management of the soft tissues during the final phases of the operation has to be performed at the best. For this reason, PTFE can be considered as the gold standard for the choice of the suturing material. The perfect tightness of the knot, the sliding, the biocompatibility, the little plaque retention represent basic characteristics during the choice of the suture, and the PTFE has all of them. Their ability to keep the flaps well closed and the incapability to keep the plaque are a plus in the post surgery period, so to limit any possible complication that may occur as the opening of the flaps with separation of the soft tissues or infection on the suture line. For these reasons, our personal preference is for the Omnia PTFE in all the operations of periodontal plastic and regene-rative surgery, ridge preservation and bone regenerative surgery.” |

Dr. Maurice Salama "Omnia sutures are superior in quality and provide me with excellent handling qualities and ease of flap closure." |
