4-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle

Description

The Truglyde Undyed 4-0 suture is a top-tier, synthetic absorbable surgical suture specifically designed for a diverse range of soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures. Created to meet the high standards of modern surgical requirements, this 4-0 polyglycolic acid suture offers exceptional handling properties, reliable tensile strength, and consistent absorption rates.

Features

  1. Material Composition:
  2. Polyglactin 910: This suture is made from Polyglactin 910, a copolymer of glycolide and lactide. This material is known for its superior biocompatibility, ensuring minimal tissue reaction and predictable absorption.
  3. Undyed: The suture is undyed (natural), making it ideal for situations where dye-free sutures are required, such as in certain tissue types or for patients with dye sensitivities.
  4. Size and Dimensions:
  5. Gauge: 4-0, perfect for precise and fine tissue approximation.
  6. Length: 68 cm, offering sufficient length for various surgical procedures 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 is designed to reduce tissue cut-through and ensure accurate 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: The suture retains approximately 50% of its tensile strength at two weeks and is fully absorbed by 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 tissue passage, minimal drag, and excellent knot-tying properties, facilitating ease of use and reducing surgical time.
  13. Secure Knotting: Ensures knots remain securely tied during the critical healing period, preventing wound dehiscence and promoting optimal healing.

Applications

Truglyde Undyed 4-0 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.

Packaging and Sterilization

  1. Sterile Packaging: Each suture is individually packaged to ensure sterility until the point of use.
  2. Convenient Access: 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 widely used in the medical field, particularly for absorbable sutures due to its excellent biocompatibility and predictable absorption properties. It provides essential temporary support to tissues during the critical healing phase and is gradually absorbed by the body, which eliminates the need for suture removal. The 4-0 26 inch Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle is specifically designed for various surgical procedures, ensuring reliable wound closure and secure tissue approximation, making it a preferred choice in soft tissue surgeries.

    What is a polyglycolic acid suture?

    A polyglycolic acid (PGA) suture is a synthetic, absorbable suture made from biodegradable materials. These sutures are designed to provide temporary support to tissues, allowing them to heal without the need for later removal. The 4-0 26 inch Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle features a braided structure that enhances its strength and knot security, making it ideal for various surgical applications. This suture type is particularly effective in areas that require secure closure and reliable support during the healing process.

    What is another name for polyglycolic acid suture?

    Polyglycolic acid sutures are often referred to simply as  inchPGA sutures. inch They are recognized for their absorbable nature and strong initial tensile strength, making them suitable for a wide range of surgical applications. The 4-0 26 inch Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle exemplifies the advantages of PGA sutures, combining reliable performance with a reverse cutting needle for precise tissue penetration, ensuring optimal outcomes in soft tissue repair.

    What material is polyglycolic acid?

    Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a synthetic biodegradable polymer derived from glycolic acid. It is commonly used in absorbable sutures because of its predictable degradation rate and biocompatibility with human tissues. The 4-0 26 inch Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle utilizes high-quality PGA material, providing strong initial support during the healing phase while ensuring gradual absorption. This characteristic makes it ideal for surgical procedures requiring effective wound closure and minimal tissue reaction.

    What is the difference between polyglycolic acid and polyglactin 910?

    Polyglycolic acid (PGA) and polyglactin 910 (commonly known as Vicryl) are both absorbable synthetic sutures, but they differ in composition and absorption characteristics. PGA is a homopolymer of glycolic acid, while polyglactin 910 is a copolymer composed of glycolic and lactic acids. Generally, PGA sutures, like the 4-0 26 inch Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 24mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle, tend to have a faster absorption rate compared to polyglactin 910. This difference makes PGA sutures particularly suitable for procedures that require quicker tissue healing while still providing secure wound closure and support.
