Features
Long-term support with minimal tissue reactivity
Trulene elicits a minimal initial inflammatory reaction in tissues, followed by gradual encapsulation of the suture by fibrous connective tissue. It is neither absorbed nor subjected to degradation or weakening by the action of tissue enzymes.
01
Low tissue reactivity
02
High tensile strength
03
High plasticity allows better accommodation of wound healing
04
Easy to remove — ideal for a running, subcuticular closure
05
Does not adhere to tissues and can be used as an intradermal suture
06
Neither absorbed nor degraded by tissue enzymes
Applications
Where Trulene is indicated
Indicated wherever permanent soft tissue approximation or ligation is required.
