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

Description

The Truglyde Violet 2-0 suture is a premium synthetic absorbable surgical polyglycolic acid suture meticulously designed to meet the demanding requirements of contemporary surgical procedures. Engineered with superior handling properties, reliable tensile strength, and predictable absorption rates, this suture is ideal for a wide array 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: 2-0, suitable for medium to 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 26 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.

Truglyde Violet 2-0 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: Beneficial in internal tissues where enhanced visibility is advantageous.
  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.

    What is chromic catgut suture used for?

    Chromic catgut sutures are primarily used for internal soft tissue repair in surgeries like gastrointestinal, gynecological, and urological procedures. They are absorbable and designed for tissues that need longer healing time. Chromic catgut is treated with chromium salts to slow down absorption, providing extended tensile strength and support for wounds. However, if you're seeking a suture that offers superior handling, durability, and consistent absorption, our 2-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid with a 26mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle is an excellent alternative. It provides precise control and excellent knot security, making it perfect for delicate procedures, ensuring optimal healing without the need for early suture removal.

    What is the difference between Vicryl and chromic suture?

    Vicryl sutures are synthetic, made from polyglactin 910, whereas chromic sutures are natural and derived from purified animal collagen. Chromic catgut sutures take longer to absorb—around 90 days—while Vicryl sutures typically absorb in 56-70 days. Vicryl is braided, offering better handling and knot security, while chromic catgut can be stiffer and more difficult to manipulate. If you need a reliable, high-performance suture for tissue closure, our 2-0 26" Braided & Coated Polyglycolic Acid Suture with a 26mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle provides a versatile, easy-to-handle option with predictable absorption. Its coated, braided structure ensures smooth tissue passage and superior handling, making it ideal for a wide range of surgical applications.

    How long is catgut suture absorbable?

    Chromic catgut sutures generally take around 90 days to absorb, depending on the patient’s tissue type and healing environment. These sutures are treated with chromium salts to slow the absorption rate, providing extended support for internal tissues that require more time to heal. However, for those looking for a modern suture with predictable and consistent absorption, our 2-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid with a 26mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle offers a more reliable solution. It absorbs at a consistent rate while maintaining strong tensile strength, making it ideal for delicate tissue repairs where precise timing and control are crucial.

    What is the difference between chromic and plain catgut sutures?

    The key difference between chromic and plain catgut sutures is their absorption time and tensile strength. Plain catgut sutures absorb quickly, typically within 10-15 days, making them ideal for tissues that heal fast. Chromic catgut sutures, on the other hand, are treated with chromium salts, extending their absorption period to approximately 90 days, which is perfect for tissues that need prolonged support. For surgeons seeking a more advanced and controlled option, our 2-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid with a 26mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle offers superior knot security, precise handling, and a reliable absorption rate, making it a highly effective choice for surgical tissue repair.

    Which is the most important characteristic of chromic catgut sutures?

    The most important characteristic of chromic catgut sutures is their prolonged absorption time, thanks to the chromium treatment, which delays absorption for around 90 days. This feature provides extended tensile strength and support, making chromic catgut ideal for internal tissues that require more time to heal. While chromic catgut sutures have their advantages, if you are looking for a suture with enhanced handling, durability, and reliable absorption, our 2-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid with a 26mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle is a cutting-edge alternative. Its braided structure ensures smooth tissue passage, easy knot tying, and optimal control, ensuring the best surgical outcomes in both soft tissue and skin closures.
