7-0 18" Braided & Coated Suture Polyglycolic Acid 6.5mm 3/8 Circle Spatula

Description

The Truglyde Violet 7-0 suture is a specialized synthetic absorbable surgical suture designed for delicate and precise surgical procedures. Engineered with exceptional handling properties, reliable tensile strength, and predictable absorption rates, this polyglycolic acid suture is ideal for microsurgical applications where fine tissue approximation is required.

Features

  1. Material Composition:
  2. Polyglactin 910: Crafted from Polyglactin 910, a copolymer of glycolide and lactide, known 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: 7-0, extremely fine for delicate tissue approximation, providing minimal tissue trauma and precise wound closure.
  6. Length: 45 cm, offering sufficient length for microsurgical applications without excess material.
  7. Needle Specifications: Equipped with a 3/8 circle spatula needle measuring 6.5 mm. The spatula needle design allows for precise tissue penetration and manipulation, particularly in microsurgical procedures.
  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.

Applications

Truglyde Violet 7-0 sutures are specifically designed for microsurgical procedures and are suitable for a range of delicate surgical applications, including but not limited to:

  1. Ophthalmic Surgery: Ideal for fine tissue work in ocular procedures such as cataract surgery, corneal transplants, and retinal surgery.
  2. Neurosurgery: Suitable for delicate nerve repair and microvascular anastomoses.
  3. Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Perfect for facial nerve repair, microsurgical flap procedures, and delicate cosmetic procedures.
  4. Vascular Surgery: Used for microvascular anastomoses in procedures such as replantation surgery and free tissue transfer.
  5. Dermatologic Surgery: Effective for precise wound closure in Mohs surgery and other dermatologic procedures requiring fine sutures.

Packaging and Sterilization

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the names of braided sutures?
Braided sutures are widely known for their flexibility and excellent knot security. Common types include Vicryl, Dexon, and Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) sutures. The 5-0 30 inch Braided and Coated Suture, 19mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle offered by MacSuture is a high-performance, braided PGA suture that delivers outstanding strength and handling during wound closure. MacSuture's braided sutures are trusted by surgeons for their precise tissue control, ensuring reliable outcomes in various surgical applications.
What is the difference between braided and non-braided suture?
Braided sutures consist of multiple filaments twisted or braided together, offering superior knot security and flexibility. Non-braided (monofilament) sutures, like Prolene, are single-strand sutures that reduce tissue drag but can be harder to handle. The 5-0 30 inch Braided and Coated Suture, 19mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle from MacSuture combines the advantages of braided sutures, providing optimal handling, knot strength, and tissue approximation, ensuring that surgeons achieve precise and secure wound closures every time.
Is Prolene a braided suture?
Prolene is not a braided suture; it is a monofilament suture made from polypropylene, known for its low tissue reactivity and smooth tissue passage. In contrast, MacSuture's 5-0 30 inch Braided and Coated Suture, 19mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle is a braided PGA suture designed for enhanced control, strength, and knot security, making it an ideal choice for situations where precision and tissue handling are paramount. Surgeons choose MacSuture for its high-quality sutures that offer dependable performance in critical procedures.
What is the strongest suture material?
The strongest suture material is stainless steel, but it is not commonly used due to its stiffness. Among absorbable sutures, polydioxanone (PDS) is known for its strength, but polyglycolic acid (PGA) is widely used for its balance of strength and controlled absorption. The 5-0 30 inch Braided and Coated Suture, 19mm 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle by MacSuture offers excellent tensile strength during the healing process while maintaining flexibility for easy handling. MacSuture sutures are designed to provide the strength and reliability surgeons need without compromising on performance.
What are the 4 types of sutures?
Sutures are categorized into four main types: absorbable, non-absorbable, monofilament, and braided. Absorbable sutures, like MacSuture's 5-0 30 inch Braided and Coated Suture, naturally dissolve over time as the wound heals. Non-absorbable sutures, such as nylon, require removal after healing. Monofilament sutures are made from a single strand, while braided sutures consist of multiple filaments for added flexibility and knot security. MacSuture's braided sutures offer the best combination of handling and strength, making them a trusted choice for surgical procedures requiring precise wound closure.
