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

Description

The Truglyde Undyed 3-0 suture is a premium synthetic absorbable surgical polyglycolic acid suture designed for a broad spectrum of soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures. Crafted to meet the exacting standards of modern surgical practice, this suture offers superior handling properties, dependable tensile strength, and predictable absorption rates.

Features

  1. Material Composition:
  2. Polyglactin 910: Made from Polyglactin 910, a copolymer of glycolide and lactide. This material is renowned for its excellent biocompatibility, ensuring minimal tissue reaction and consistent absorption.
  3. Undyed: The suture is undyed (natural), ideal for situations where dye-free sutures are necessary, such as specific tissue types or for patients with dye sensitivities.
  4. Size and Dimensions:
  5. Gauge: 3-0, suitable for medium to fine tissue approximation, providing a balance between strength and minimal tissue trauma.
  6. Length: 68 cm, offering ample length for various surgical applications without requiring frequent suture changes.
  7. Needle Specifications: Equipped with a 3/8 circle reverse cutting (Rc) needle measuring 24 mm. The reverse cutting needle design reduces 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.

    What is the use of polyglycolic acid?

    Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is commonly used in absorbable sutures due to its biodegradability and strength. Its primary function is to provide temporary wound support while minimizing the need for suture removal. In surgical applications, especially for soft tissue approximation, PGA sutures are preferred because they maintain high tensile strength during the critical healing phase and then gradually degrade within the body. The 3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle offers a precise, dependable solution for surgeons, ensuring smooth tissue passage and secure knotting, ideal for surgical procedures requiring precision and temporary wound support.

    What is a polyglycolic acid suture?

    A polyglycolic acid (PGA) suture is an absorbable, synthetic suture that provides temporary wound closure by being gradually absorbed by the body. PGA sutures are known for their strength and low tissue reactivity, making them ideal for procedures involving soft tissues. Over time, they break down through hydrolysis, ensuring the wound remains closed during the initial healing phase. The 3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle is specifically designed to offer superior handling, secure closure, and smooth tissue penetration, making it an excellent choice for surgeons seeking reliable, absorbable sutures for precise wound care.

    What is another name for polyglycolic acid suture?

    Polyglycolic acid sutures are often referred to as PGA sutures. These absorbable sutures are well-known for their high tensile strength and reliable absorption characteristics, making them ideal for various types of surgeries. They ensure temporary wound closure and offer predictable absorption times, reducing the need for suture removal. The 3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle exemplifies the effectiveness of PGA sutures, offering surgeons a high-performing, reliable suture that provides smooth handling, secure knotting, and excellent tissue closure for delicate surgical procedures.

    What material is polyglycolic acid?

    Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a biodegradable polymer made from glycolic acid, making it an ideal material for absorbable sutures. PGA is designed to maintain tensile strength during the initial stages of healing and then break down naturally, eliminating the need for suture removal. Its controlled absorption and minimal tissue reaction make it a top choice for wound closure in various surgeries. The 3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle is crafted from high-quality PGA material, providing superior strength, smooth tissue passage, and reliable absorption, making it perfect for surgical use.

    What is the difference between polyglycolic acid and polyglactin 910?

    Polyglycolic acid (PGA) and polyglactin 910 (commonly 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 acid. Polyglactin 910 absorbs more slowly, offering prolonged tissue support, while PGA sutures are absorbed more quickly, making them ideal for surgeries where faster healing is expected. The 3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle is designed for precision and quick absorption, providing surgeons with a reliable solution for wound closure with excellent handling and strength.
