2-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle

Description

The Truglyde Undyed 2-0 suture is a high-quality synthetic absorbable surgical braided polyglycolic acid suture designed for a variety of soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures. Crafted to meet the rigorous standards of contemporary surgical practice, this suture offers exceptional handling properties, reliable tensile strength, and predictable absorption rates.

Features

  1. Material Composition:
  2. Polyglactin 910: This suture is constructed from Polyglactin 910, a copolymer of glycolide and lactide. This material is known for its excellent biocompatibility, ensuring minimal tissue reaction and consistent absorption.
  3. Undyed: The suture is undyed (natural), making it ideal for situations where dye-free sutures are preferred, such as in certain tissue types or for patients with dye sensitivities.
  4. Size and Dimensions:
  5. Gauge: 2-0, suitable for medium to large tissue approximation, providing a balance between strength and minimal tissue trauma.
  6. Length: 68 cm, offering sufficient length for a variety of surgical applications without necessitating frequent suture changes.
  7. Needle Specifications: Equipped with a 3/8 circle reverse cutting (Rc) needle measuring 24 mm. The reverse cutting needle design minimizes tissue cut-through and ensures precise wound closure.
  8. Absorption Profile:
  9. Absorbable Nature: Truglyde Undyed sutures are absorbable, gradually losing tensile strength and being completely absorbed by the body through hydrolysis.
  10. Absorption Timeline: Retains approximately 50% of its tensile strength at two weeks and is fully absorbed by 56-70 days, thereby eliminating the need for suture removal and enhancing patient comfort.
  11. Handling and Knot Security:
  12. Superior Handling: Exhibits smooth passage through tissue, minimal drag, and excellent knot-tying properties, facilitating ease of use and reducing operative time.
  13. Secure Knotting: Ensures knots remain securely tied during the critical healing period, preventing wound dehiscence and promoting optimal healing.

  1. General Surgery: Effective for soft tissue approximation and ligation.
  2. Gynecological Procedures: Suitable for closing delicate tissues.
  3. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Ideal for fine tissue work where minimal scarring is desired.
  4. Ophthalmic Surgery: Appropriate for delicate eye tissues due to its fine gauge.
  5. Pediatric Surgery: Well-suited for pediatric patients given its absorbable nature and minimal tissue reaction.
  6. Internal Tissues: Preferred in internal tissues where dye-free sutures are beneficial.
  7. Orthopedic Surgery: Suitable for repairing tendons and ligaments where additional strength is required.
  8. Cardiovascular Surgery: Ideal for vascular anastomoses and other cardiovascular procedures requiring precise suturing.

    What is the use of polyglycolic acid?

    Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is primarily used in the medical field for manufacturing absorbable sutures. These sutures are designed to be broken down by the body over time, making them ideal for surgeries requiring temporary wound support. PGA sutures are particularly effective in closing soft tissue wounds, ensuring reliable wound approximation during the initial healing phase. The 2-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle is crafted to offer excellent tensile strength and smooth tissue passage, providing dependable performance in various surgical procedures. Trust this product to deliver the high-quality wound closure you need.

    What is a polyglycolic acid suture?

    A polyglycolic acid (PGA) suture is an absorbable suture made from a synthetic polymer that is designed to break down naturally within the body. These sutures maintain their strength for an appropriate period during the healing process before gradually being absorbed. PGA sutures are widely used in surgeries due to their excellent knot security and minimal tissue reaction. The 2-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle offers top-tier performance with precision-engineered coating for smooth passage and secure knotting, ensuring a reliable solution for surgical wound closure.

    What is another name for polyglycolic acid suture?

    Polyglycolic acid sutures are also commonly referred to as PGA sutures. These sutures are absorbable and offer excellent biocompatibility, making them a popular choice for various surgical procedures. PGA sutures are known for their strength, predictable absorption, and low risk of tissue irritation. The 2-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle brings all the benefits of PGA into a user-friendly design, offering superior performance with enhanced handling and knot security. If you are looking for a trusted suture solution, this product is the perfect choice for ensuring efficient wound closure.

    What material is polyglycolic acid?

    Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a synthetic, biodegradable polymer derived from glycolic acid. It is used in the production of absorbable sutures due to its strength, flexibility, and ability to break down naturally in the body. PGA sutures offer excellent performance in soft tissue approximation and are preferred in procedures where long-term suture support is not required. The 2-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle is made from high-quality polyglycolic acid, designed to provide smooth tissue passage and reliable absorption, ensuring optimal healing and reducing the risk of complications.

    What is the difference between polyglycolic acid and polyglactin 910?

    Polyglycolic acid (PGA) and polyglactin 910 are both absorbable suture materials, but they differ in composition and absorption rates. PGA is a homopolymer of glycolic acid, whereas polyglactin 910 (often known as Vicryl) is a copolymer of glycolic acid and lactic acid. Polyglactin 910 typically absorbs more slowly, offering longer tissue support. PGA, on the other hand, has a faster absorption rate, making it ideal for procedures where quicker healing is expected. The 2-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle combines the best properties of PGA to deliver excellent tensile strength and smooth absorption, ensuring reliable and effective surgical outcomes.
