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).

Applications
Technical Details
Range

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.
