Description

The Truglyde Violet 0 suture is a premium synthetic absorbable surgical polyglycolic acid suture meticulously engineered to meet the stringent requirements of modern surgical procedures. With superior handling characteristics, dependable tensile strength, and predictable absorption properties, this suture is ideal for a wide range of soft tissue approximation and ligation tasks.

Features

  1. Material Composition:
  2. Polyglactin 910: Crafted from Polyglactin 910, a copolymer of glycolide and lactide, renowned for its exceptional biocompatibility. This ensures minimal tissue reaction and consistent absorption.
  3. Violet Coloration: The suture is dyed violet, enhancing visibility during surgery, enabling easier identification and manipulation by the surgeon.
  4. Size and Dimensions:
  5. Gauge: 0, suitable for large tissue approximation, providing robust strength while minimizing tissue trauma.
  6. Length: 68 cm, offering ample length for various surgical applications without requiring frequent suture changes.
  7. Needle Specifications: Equipped with a 1/2 circle round-bodied (Rb) needle measuring 36 mm. The round-bodied needle design allows for atraumatic tissue penetration, particularly in soft, delicate tissues.
  8. Absorption Profile:
  9. Absorbable Nature: Truglyde Violet sutures are absorbable, gradually losing tensile strength and being fully absorbed by the body through hydrolysis.
  10. Absorption Timeline: Retains approximately 50% of its tensile strength at two weeks and is completely absorbed within 56-70 days, eliminating the need for suture removal and enhancing patient comfort.
  11. Handling and Knot Security:
  12. Superior Handling: 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 Violet 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 large tissue masses.
  3. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Ideal for large wound closure where robust strength is required.
  4. Pediatric Surgery: Well-suited for pediatric patients given its absorbable nature and minimal tissue reaction.
  5. Internal Tissues: Beneficial in internal tissues where enhanced visibility is advantageous.
  6. Cardiovascular Surgery: Suitable for vascular anastomoses and other procedures requiring precise suturing.
  7. Orthopedic Surgery: Suitable for repairing large 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: 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the use of polyglycolic acid?
Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is widely used in the medical field, particularly for making absorbable sutures. Its ability to break down naturally within the body over time makes it ideal for wound closure in surgical procedures. PGA sutures are highly effective for soft tissue approximation, offering excellent tensile strength during the initial healing period before they gradually absorb. The 0 26inch Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 36mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle offered by SurgiMac is designed for precision and reliability, ensuring seamless wound healing with superior performance. With SurgiMac, you're choosing a trusted name in surgical solutions.
What is a polyglycolic acid suture?
A polyglycolic acid (PGA) suture is a type of absorbable suture made from a synthetic polymer. These sutures are designed to be absorbed by the body over time, providing reliable tissue support during the critical early stages of healing. PGA sutures offer exceptional handling and knot security, making them a preferred choice for a wide range of surgical applications. The 0 26inch Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 36mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle offered by SurgiMac ensures a smooth, reliable suturing experience with top-notch strength and absorption properties. Surgeons trust SurgiMac to deliver high-quality sutures for every procedure.
What is another name for polyglycolic acid suture?
Polyglycolic acid sutures are commonly referred to as PGA sutures. These absorbable sutures are known for their high tensile strength and predictable absorption, making them a staple in surgical procedures. PGA sutures are favored for their biocompatibility and minimal tissue reaction, promoting effective wound healing. The 0 26inch Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 36mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle offered by SurgiMac combines all the benefits of PGA with precision-engineered design, ensuring optimal performance in the operating room. When it comes to reliable sutures, SurgiMac is the brand trusted by medical professionals worldwide.
What material is polyglycolic acid?
Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a biodegradable polymer derived from glycolic acid. Its unique properties make it highly suitable for absorbable sutures, as it breaks down naturally within the body over time without leaving harmful residues. PGA sutures are known for their strength, flexibility, and controlled absorption rates, which contribute to seamless tissue healing. The 0 26inch Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 36mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle offered by SurgiMac is crafted from high-quality PGA, offering medical professionals a reliable and efficient solution for wound closure. Choose SurgiMac for the best in suture technology.
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 time. While PGA is a homopolymer of glycolic acid, polyglactin 910 (commonly known as Vicryl) is a copolymer of glycolic acid and lactic acid. Polyglactin 910 generally absorbs more slowly than PGA, offering prolonged support for tissues. The 0 26inch Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 36mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle offered by SurgiMac provides reliable, fast-absorbing support, ideal for situations where timely tissue healing is required. With SurgiMac, you’re guaranteed top-tier sutures that meet the diverse needs of surgical professionals.
