3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 26mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle

Description

The Truglyde Undyed 3-0 suture is a high-quality synthetic absorbable surgical braided polyglycolic acid suture crafted to meet the rigorous demands of modern surgical procedures. With a focus on superior handling, dependable tensile strength, and predictable absorption rates, this suture is ideal for a variety of soft tissue approximation and ligation tasks.

Features

  1. Material Composition:
  2. Polyglactin 910: This suture is made from Polyglactin 910, a copolymer of glycolide and lactide. Known for its excellent biocompatibility, Polyglactin 910 ensures minimal tissue reaction and consistent absorption.
  3. Undyed (Natural): The suture is undyed, 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: 3-0, suitable for medium to fine tissue approximation, offering a balance between strength and minimal tissue trauma.
  6. Length: 68 cm, providing ample length for a variety of surgical applications without the need for frequent suture changes.
  7. Needle Specifications: Equipped with a 1/2 circle round-bodied (Rb) needle measuring 26 mm. The round-bodied needle is designed for atraumatic tissue penetration, especially in soft, delicate tissues.
  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: The suture retains approximately 50% of its tensile strength at two weeks and is fully absorbed within 56-70 days, thus eliminating the need for suture removal and enhancing patient comfort.
  11. Handling and Knot Security:
  12. Superior Handling: The suture exhibits smooth passage through tissue, minimal drag, and excellent knot-tying properties, facilitating ease of use and reducing operative time.
  13. Secure Knotting: Ensures that knots remain securely tied during the critical healing period, preventing wound dehiscence and promoting optimal healing.

Applications

Truglyde Undyed 3-0 sutures are highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of surgical procedures, including but not limited to:

  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. Cardiovascular Surgery: Ideal for vascular anastomoses and other cardiovascular procedures requiring precise suturing.
  8. Orthopedic Surgery: Suitable for repairing tendons and ligaments where additional strength is required.

Packaging and Sterilization

  1. Sterile Packaging: Each suture is individually packaged to ensure sterility until the point of use.
  2. Convenient Access: The packaging is designed for easy opening, allowing for quick and efficient access during surgical procedures.
  3. Shelf Life: Maintains integrity and sterility over an extended period when stored under recommended conditions.

    What is the use of polyglycolic acid?

    Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is primarily used in absorbable sutures for soft tissue closure, offering temporary wound support that eventually breaks down naturally within the body. This feature makes PGA ideal for surgeries where suture removal is not desired, such as internal surgeries or pediatric procedures. PGA sutures maintain tensile strength during the healing phase and promote efficient tissue recovery. The 3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 26mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle provides excellent knot security and smooth handling, making it an exceptional choice for surgeons who require reliable tissue closure with predictable absorption.

    What is a polyglycolic acid suture?

    A polyglycolic acid (PGA) suture is a type of absorbable suture that dissolves within the body over time. Made from synthetic polymer fibers, PGA sutures offer a strong and predictable solution for wound closure, especially in soft tissues. These sutures degrade through hydrolysis, providing enough tensile strength to support the wound during its initial healing phase before being fully absorbed. The 3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 26mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle is designed for precise wound closure, ensuring smooth tissue passage, secure knots, and reliable absorption, making it a highly dependable option for surgeons.

    What is another name for polyglycolic acid suture?

    Polyglycolic acid sutures are commonly referred to as PGA sutures. Known for their strong, absorbable nature, these sutures are widely used in a variety of surgical applications that require temporary tissue support. PGA sutures offer consistent absorption rates, making them a preferred choice for many surgeons. The 3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 26mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle is an example of a PGA suture that combines high tensile strength, smooth handling, and dependable absorption, making it a top choice for wound closure in soft tissue surgeries.

    What material is polyglycolic acid?

    Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a biodegradable synthetic polymer that is often used to create absorbable sutures. This material is chosen for its strength and controlled degradation, allowing it to maintain tissue approximation during the critical stages of wound healing. Once the tissue has healed sufficiently, PGA sutures break down naturally in the body, eliminating the need for removal. The 3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 26mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle is made from high-quality PGA material, ensuring strong, smooth, and reliable tissue closure with minimal tissue reaction.

    What is the difference between polyglycolic acid and polyglactin 910?

    Polyglycolic acid (PGA) and polyglactin 910 (also known as Vicryl) are both absorbable sutures, but they differ in composition and absorption rates. PGA is a homopolymer of glycolic acid, while polyglactin 910 is a copolymer of glycolic and lactic acids. Polyglactin 910 absorbs slightly slower than PGA, offering longer tissue support, which makes it more suitable for procedures requiring prolonged healing times. On the other hand, PGA sutures are ideal for faster absorption, ensuring efficient healing. The 3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 26mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle offers quicker absorption, making it the perfect choice for surgeons seeking reliable performance in surgeries requiring temporary but strong tissue support.
