3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 22mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle

Description

The Truglyde Violet 3-0 suture is a top-tier synthetic absorbable surgical polyglycolic acid suture tailored to meet the versatile demands of modern surgical procedures. Designed with superior handling, reliable tensile strength, and predictable absorption rates, this suture is perfect for a wide range of soft tissue approximation and ligation tasks.

Features

  1. Material Composition:
  2. Polyglactin 910: This suture is made from Polyglactin 910, a copolymer of glycolide and lactide. Known for its excellent biocompatibility, Polyglactin 910 ensures minimal tissue reaction and predictable absorption.
  3. Violet Coloration: The suture is dyed violet to enhance visibility during surgery, making it easier for the surgeon to identify and manipulate.
  4. Size and Dimensions:
  5. Gauge: 3-0, suitable for medium to fine tissue approximation, offering a balance between strength and minimal tissue trauma.
  6. Length: 68 cm, providing ample length for a variety of surgical applications without the need for frequent suture changes.
  7. Needle Specifications: Equipped with a 1/2 circle round-bodied (Rb) needle measuring 22 mm. The round-bodied needle is designed for atraumatic tissue penetration, especially in soft, delicate tissues.
  8. Absorption Profile:
  9. Absorbable Nature: Truglyde Violet 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 within 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 passage through tissue, minimal drag, and excellent knot-tying properties, facilitating ease of use and reducing operative time.
  13. Secure Knotting: Ensures that knots remain securely tied during the critical healing period, preventing wound dehiscence and promoting optimal healing.

Truglyde Violet 3-0 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 the use of polyglycolic acid?

    Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a widely used material in absorbable sutures, particularly for procedures requiring temporary wound support. Its ability to degrade naturally in the body through hydrolysis eliminates the need for suture removal post-surgery. PGA sutures are highly effective in soft tissue approximation and are often used in a variety of surgical fields, including general surgery, gynecology, and orthopedics. The 3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 22mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle is specifically designed to provide secure tissue closure and optimal handling, ensuring a smooth, reliable experience for surgeons and promoting effective healing in patients.

    What is a polyglycolic acid suture?

    A polyglycolic acid (PGA) suture is an absorbable suture that breaks down naturally in the body over time. Known for its superior tensile strength, PGA sutures maintain structural integrity during the critical healing phase before gradually being absorbed. These sutures are ideal for procedures where long-term support is not required but strong, reliable tissue approximation is needed. The 3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 22mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle combines the benefits of a braided and coated design with the reliable absorption characteristics of PGA, offering secure knotting, smooth tissue passage, and dependable performance in wound closure.

    What is another name for polyglycolic acid suture?

    Polyglycolic acid sutures are often referred to as PGA sutures. These absorbable sutures are renowned for their predictable absorption rate, strength, and low tissue reactivity, making them a preferred choice in a wide range of surgical procedures. PGA sutures are designed to provide temporary wound support before being absorbed by the body, which minimizes the need for post-operative suture removal. The 3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 22mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle exemplifies the qualities of PGA sutures, offering a high-performing solution for surgeons requiring smooth handling, secure closure, and reliable absorption.

    What material is polyglycolic acid?

    Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a synthetic, biodegradable polymer that is widely used for absorbable sutures due to its strength and controlled absorption properties. PGA is known for maintaining tensile strength during the initial healing period before breaking down through hydrolysis and being absorbed by the body. The material’s low tissue reactivity makes it ideal for internal sutures where temporary wound support is needed. The 3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 22mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle is crafted from high-quality PGA, providing surgeons with a reliable, absorbable suture that offers excellent knot security and efficient wound healing.

    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 their composition and rate of absorption. PGA is a homopolymer of glycolic acid, while polyglactin 910 is a copolymer of glycolic and lactic acid. Polyglactin 910 tends to absorb more slowly, making it suitable for situations requiring extended tissue support, whereas PGA offers faster absorption for quicker wound healing. The 3-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 22mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle is a PGA suture that provides the strength, flexibility, and faster absorption needed for effective wound closure in procedures that require temporary but strong support.
