Truglyde Fast

Braided and Coated Polyglycolic Acid-Fast Absorbable Sterile Synthetic Absorbable Surgical Suture

Features of Truglyde Fast

  • Coated and Braided Polyglycolic Acid  (fast absorbable)
  • High initial tensile strength
  • Soft and smooth feel for easy passage through the tissue with minimal trauma
  • Good knotting properties
  • Excellent handling and smooth tie down

Truglyde Fast has a fast and predictable absorption rate, and provides wound support upto 7 days and gets absorbed by hydrolysis quicker than polyglycolic acid suture (within 42 – 63 days of implantation).

 

  • Soft tissue approximation
  • Skin closure, particularly in paediatric surgery
  • Episiotomy
  • Circumcision
  • Closure of oral mucosa

Due to its rapid loss of tensile strength, Truglyde Fast suture should not be used where extended approximation of tissue under stress is required or where wound support beyond 7 days is required. It should not be used for ligation, and in cardiovascular and neurological tissues.

  • Braided and coated polyglycolic acid (fast absorbable)
  • Coated with a mixture of polycaprolactone and calcium stearate
  • Available in Undyed form
  • Sterilized by ethylene oxide
  • Shelf life of 5 years
  • U.S.P sizes available: 8-0 to 2
  • E.P metric gauge numbers available: 0.4 to 5
  • Suture length available: 45 cm to 250 cm
  • Needle length: 11 mm to 50 mm across all needle point profiles
