4-0 26" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 22mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle

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 polyglycolic acid suture is ideal for a wide range of soft tissue approximation and ligation tasks.

Features

  1. Material Composition:
  2. 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.
  3. Violet Coloration: The suture is dyed violet to enhance visibility during surgery, allowing for easier identification and manipulation by the surgeon.
  4. Size and Dimensions:
  5. Gauge: 4-0, suitable for delicate and finer tissue approximation, providing a balance between strength and minimal tissue trauma.
  6. Length: 68 cm, offering ample length for a variety of surgical applications without requiring 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, particularly 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 by 56-70 days, eliminating the need for suture removal and enhancing patient comfort.
  11. Handling and Knot Security:
  12. Superior Handling: Exhibits smooth passage through tissue, minimal drag, and excellent knot-tying properties, facilitating ease of use and reducing operative time.
  13. 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:

  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.

Packaging and Sterilization

  1. Sterile Packaging: Each suture is individually packaged to ensure sterility until the point of use.
  2. Convenient Access: The packaging is 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.

    What is the use of polyglycolic acid?

    Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is primarily used in absorbable sutures due to its excellent biocompatibility and predictable degradation. It provides temporary support to the tissue during the healing process and is eventually absorbed by the body, eliminating the need for suture removal. The 4-0 26 inch Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 22mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle is specifically designed to offer secure wound closure in soft tissue surgeries such as gastrointestinal and gynecological procedures, ensuring high tensile strength and ease of use for the surgeon.

    What is a polyglycolic acid suture?

    A polyglycolic acid (PGA) suture is an absorbable synthetic suture made from biodegradable polymers. It provides temporary wound support during the critical healing period before being absorbed by the body over time. The 4-0 26 inch Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 22mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle offers superior handling, flexibility, and knot security due to its braided design. It is ideal for use in surgeries where maintaining tensile strength for a limited period is necessary, providing reliable tissue approximation without the need for removal.

    What is another name for polyglycolic acid suture?

    Polyglycolic acid sutures are commonly referred to as PGA sutures. Known for their absorbable nature and strong initial tensile strength, PGA sutures are favored in various medical procedures that require temporary tissue approximation. The 4-0 26 inch Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 22mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle stands out due to its superior construction and coating, ensuring reduced tissue drag and smooth passage, making it a versatile choice for soft tissue closures.

    What material is polyglycolic acid?

    Polyglycolic acid (PGA) is a biodegradable polymer derived from glycolic acid. It is commonly used in absorbable sutures due to its predictable breakdown and absorption within the body. The 4-0 26 inch Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 22mm 1/2 Circle Round Body Needle is made from high-quality PGA material, providing strength during the initial healing phase before gradually dissolving. This feature makes it highly effective for surgeries where tissue support is needed only for a limited duration, allowing for natural healing without the need for suture removal.
