FEATURES OF TRULENE
- Low tissue reactivity
- High tensile strength
- High plasticity allows better accommodation of wound healing
- Easy to remove – ideal for a running, subcuticular closure
- Does not adhere to tissues and can be used as an intradermal suture
This non-absorbable suture is used for approximation where support is required for a lifetime. It has excellent tensile strength and does not lengthen while knotting. Trulene for CV comes with MANI needles and suture specs for superior performance, sharpness and strength.
