TRUSYNTH 2-0 TS 2317 1X12

About

TRUSYNTH 2-0 is a synthetic absorbable surgical suture, commonly used for soft tissue approximation and ligation where absorbable material is indicated. The "2-0" denotes the suture's diameter, indicating a specific tensile strength and handling characteristic. These sutures are designed to provide temporary wound support until the tissue has healed sufficiently, after which they are gradually hydrolyzed and absorbed by the body. They are often made from materials like polyglactin or poliglecaprone, offering predictable absorption profiles and minimal tissue reaction.

The "TS 2317" likely refers to the needle attached, specifying its type, curvature, and length, which are crucial for precise tissue penetration and manipulation during surgical procedures. This combination ensures effective and safe closure in various surgical specialties.

Uses

• General soft tissue approximation.
• Ligation of blood vessels.
• Subcutaneous tissue closure.
• Gastrointestinal surgery.

Directions For Use

Handle aseptically. Use appropriate surgical technique for tissue approximation or ligation.

Benefits

• Predictable absorption profile.
• High tensile strength initially.
• Minimal tissue reaction.
• Smooth passage through tissue.
• Reduces need for suture removal.
• Sterile and ready for use.

Side Effects

• Tissue inflammation or foreign body reaction.
• Infection at the suture site.
• Suture line dehiscence (wound separation).
• Granuloma formation.
• Allergic reaction to suture material.
• Pain or discomfort at the wound site.
• Delayed wound healing.
• Suture extrusion.
• Scarring.
• Potential for knot slippage.
• Requires careful handling to avoid damage.

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Not applicable to the suture itself. Surgical site preparation often involves alcohol-based antiseptics.
• Pregnancy - Use during pregnancy should be based on clinical necessity, considering potential effects on fetal development if used in uterine or abdominal closure.
• Breastfeeding - No direct contraindications for breastfeeding individuals. Use as per standard surgical guidelines.
• Liver - No direct impact on liver function. However, severe liver disease can impair wound healing and increase bleeding risk, affecting suture integrity.
• Kidney - No direct impact on kidney function. Use as per standard surgical guidelines.
• Lung - No direct impact on lung function. Use in thoracic surgery requires careful consideration of tissue integrity and healing.
