• Faster and predictable absorption
• Reduces pain and discomfort
• Consistent, short term wound support
• Good knot security and easy knot placement
• Tightly braided to enhance strength and improve surface smoothness
• Patients with standard synthetic sutures require removal of unabsorbed suture material compared to rapidly absorbed sutures
• Trupass coated needle for easy penetration and extended smoothness

Truglyde Fast provides faster absorption period (essentially absorbs within 60 – 75 days), which is convenient during surgeries likes episiotomy and circumcision. The suture retains approximately 15% of the initial tensile strength at 2 weeks of implantation. The material used in this suture is softer compared to conventional suture materials like catgut.
