2-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 36mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle

Description

The Truglyde Violet 2-0 suture is a premium synthetic absorbable surgical polyglycolic acid sutures designed to meet the exacting standards of modern surgical practice. Engineered with superior handling properties, reliable tensile strength, and predictable absorption rates, this suture is ideal for a wide range of soft tissue approximation and ligation procedures.

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 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.

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 absorbable and widely used for internal tissue closures in surgeries where healing takes longer, such as in gynecological, gastrointestinal, or urological procedures. These sutures are treated with chromium salts to slow absorption, providing extended support for tissues that need more time to heal. However, if you are looking for a more advanced, synthetic alternative, our 2-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid with a 36mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle is a superior choice. It offers enhanced tensile strength, predictable absorption, and excellent handling, making it ideal for complex surgeries and tissue repairs that require precise, long-lasting support.

    What is the difference between Vicryl and chromic suture?

    Vicryl and chromic sutures differ primarily in composition and absorption time. Vicryl is synthetic, made from polyglactin, and typically absorbs in 56-70 days, while chromic catgut, a natural suture made from animal collagen, absorbs over about 90 days. Chromic catgut is monofilament, whereas Vicryl is braided, giving it better knot security and handling. If you prefer the reliability of a synthetic suture, our 2-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid with a 36mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle offers the perfect balance of strength, flexibility, and ease of use, ensuring optimal wound closure and patient recovery across various procedures.

    How long is catgut suture absorbable?

    Chromic catgut sutures are designed to absorb over approximately 90 days, offering prolonged support for internal tissues during healing. The absorption time varies based on the tissue environment and patient health, but the chromium treatment ensures that these sutures maintain their tensile strength for an extended period. For those seeking a more predictable and reliable suture, our 2-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid with a 36mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle offers consistent absorption and superior handling characteristics. Its braided design ensures excellent knot security and minimal tissue reaction, making it a high-performing option for internal tissue repairs requiring long-term support.

    What is the difference between chromic and plain catgut sutures?

    The major difference between chromic and plain catgut sutures is their absorption time. Plain catgut absorbs quickly, usually within 10-15 days, making it ideal for tissues that heal rapidly. Chromic catgut, on the other hand, is treated with chromium salts to slow down absorption, extending its support to approximately 90 days for tissues that require more time to heal. If you want a more consistent and advanced solution, our 2-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid with a 36mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle is an excellent choice. It provides longer-lasting tensile strength and a smooth, controlled absorption rate, making it suitable for delicate surgeries where precision and durability are essential.

    Which is the most important characteristic of chromic catgut sutures?

    The most important characteristic of chromic catgut sutures is their prolonged absorption time, which offers extended tensile strength and support for healing tissues. This makes them ideal for internal soft tissue closures, particularly in surgeries where tissues heal slowly. However, if you’re looking for an even more effective and predictable suture, our 2-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid with a 36mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle stands out as an exceptional alternative. Its braided design offers excellent knot security, precise handling, and controlled absorption, ensuring that you achieve the best possible results in various surgical procedures.
