Truglyde Violet 4-0, 68cm, 1/2 Circle Rb 22mm

Description

The Truglyde Violet 4-0 suture is a high-quality synthetic absorbable surgical suture designed to meet the diverse needs of modern surgical procedures. With a focus on exceptional handling, reliable tensile strength, and predictable absorption, this suture is ideal for a wide range of soft tissue approximation and ligation tasks.

Features

  1. Material Composition:

    • Polyglactin 910: The suture is crafted from Polyglactin 910, a copolymer of glycolide and lactide, known for its superior biocompatibility. This ensures minimal tissue reaction and consistent absorption.
    • Violet Coloration: The suture is dyed violet to enhance visibility during surgery, allowing for easier identification and manipulation by the surgeon.
  2. Size and Dimensions:

    • Gauge: 4-0, suitable for delicate and finer tissue approximation, providing a balance between strength and minimal tissue trauma.
    • Length: 68 cm, offering ample length for a variety of surgical applications without requiring frequent suture changes.
    • 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, particularly in soft, delicate tissues.
  3. Absorption Profile:

    • Absorbable Nature: Truglyde Violet sutures are absorbable, gradually losing tensile strength and being completely absorbed by the body through hydrolysis.
    • Absorption Timeline: The suture retains approximately 50% of its tensile strength at two weeks and is fully absorbed by 56-70 days, eliminating the need for suture removal and enhancing patient comfort.
  4. Handling and Knot Security:

    • Superior Handling: Exhibits smooth passage through tissue, minimal drag, and excellent knot-tying properties, facilitating ease of use and reducing operative time.
    • Secure Knotting: Ensures knots remain securely tied during the critical healing period, preventing wound dehiscence and promoting optimal healing.

Applications

Truglyde Violet 4-0 sutures are highly versatile and suitable for a wide range of surgical procedures, including but not limited to:

  • General Surgery: Effective for soft tissue approximation and ligation.
  • Gynecological Procedures: Suitable for closing delicate tissues.
  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Ideal for fine tissue work where minimal scarring is desired.
  • Ophthalmic Surgery: Appropriate for delicate eye tissues due to its fine gauge.
  • Pediatric Surgery: Well-suited for pediatric patients given its absorbable nature and minimal tissue reaction.
  • Internal Tissues: Beneficial in internal tissues where enhanced visibility is advantageous.
  • Cardiovascular Surgery: Ideal for vascular anastomoses and other cardiovascular procedures requiring precise suturing.

Packaging and Sterilization

  • Sterile Packaging: Each suture is individually packaged to ensure sterility until the point of use.
  • Convenient Access: The packaging is designed for easy opening, allowing for quick and efficient access during surgical procedures.
  • Shelf Life: Maintains integrity and sterility over an extended period when stored under recommended conditions.
