Healthium Truglyde Fast USP 3-0 Suture - SN2735AFAST Pack of 12

Description:

Braided coated polyglycolic acid fast absorbable suture is a surgical suture designed for accelerated absorption, making it suitable for procedures where a quicker dissolution of the suture material is desired.

Composed of polyglycolic acid, a synthetic polymer known for its biocompatibility, the suture is designed with a braided structure and coated surface to enhance tensile strength and facilitate smooth passage through tissues.

Key Features:

Polyglycolic Acid Composition: The suture is made from polyglycolic acid, a synthetic polymer known for its high tensile strength and fast absorption characteristics.

Braided Structure: The suture is braided, providing additional strength and flexibility.

The braided design contributes to the suture's handling characteristics and knot security.

Coated Surface: A coating on the suture's surface reduces friction, allowing for ease of passage through tissues.

The coating also contributes to the overall performance of the suture during surgical procedures.

Fast Absorption: Polyglycolic acid is naturally absorbable through hydrolysis, and the fast absorbable variant of this suture is designed for quicker dissolution within the body.

Benefits:

Quick Absorption: The fast absorbable nature of the suture is advantageous in procedures where rapid absorption and reduced longevity of the suture material are desirable.

High Tensile Strength: The braided construction enhances the tensile strength of the suture, providing reliable support during wound closure.

Reduced Tissue Irritation: The coated surface minimizes tissue irritation and drag, contributing to smoother passage through tissues and reduced trauma.

Secure Knotting: The braided structure enhances knot security, ensuring the suture remains securely tied during and after the surgical procedure.
