Trubond

Braided & Coated Polyester - Sterile Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture

FEATURES OF TRUBOND: 

• Low tissue reactivity
• High tensile strength
• Soft and pliable and very easy to handle
• Smooth knot tie-down with excellent knot security

This suture is indicated for skin closure, and in surgical procedures where a combination of a non-absorbable suture and long-term wound support is required for soft tissue approximation and/or ligation. It elicits a minimal initial inflammatory reaction in tissues which is followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. It is neither absorbed, nor it is subjected to degradation or weakening by the action of tissue enzymes.

APPLICATIONS: 

• Soft tissue approximation
• Cardiovascular surgery – Ideal for valve repair/ replacement
• General surgery
• Orthopaedic surgery
• Arthroscopy surgery
