FEATURES OF TRUGLYDE FAST
- 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.
