Healthium Trulon USP 0 Suture - S904 Pack of 12

Description:

Monofilament polyamide non-absorbable suture is a surgical suture designed for long-term wound support where a suture that does not undergo absorption is required.

Polyamide, commonly known as nylon, is a synthetic polymer that offers high tensile strength and durability.

The monofilament structure of the suture consists of a single strand, reducing tissue drag and making it suitable for various surgical applications.

Key Features:

Polyamide Composition: The suture is composed of polyamide, a synthetic polymer known for its high tensile strength, flexibility, and resistance to degradation.

Monofilament Structure: Being monofilament, the suture consists of a single strand, minimizing tissue drag and reducing the likelihood of bacterial wicking along the suture track.

Non-Absorbable: Polyamide is a non-absorbable material, meaning the suture does not undergo breakdown or absorption within the body.

It provides long-term support until manually removed.

Smooth Surface: The monofilament structure contributes to a smooth surface, facilitating easy passage through tissues and reducing the risk of tissue trauma.

Benefits:

Extended Tensile Strength: The non-absorbable nature of polyamide allows the suture to maintain its tensile strength for an extended period, providing prolonged support during the healing process.

Reduced Tissue Irritation: The monofilament structure and smooth surface minimize tissue irritation, making it suitable for applications where a low tissue reactivity is desired.

Flexible Handling: Polyamide suture is known for its flexibility and ease of handling, allowing for precise placement and secure knot tying.

Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of surgical procedures where long-term wound support is needed, including cardiovascular, plastic, ophthalmic, and orthopedic surgeries.
