Features
High initial tensile strength, rapid absorption
Trusynth Fast provides wound support up to 7 days and is absorbed by hydrolysis quicker than polyglactin 910 suture — within 28 to 42 days of implantation.
01
Coated and braided polyglactin 910, fast absorbable
02
High initial tensile strength
03
Soft and smooth feel for easy passage through the tissue with minimal trauma
04

Applications
Where Trusynth Fast is indicated
Indicated where only short-term wound support is required.
Caution: Due to its rapid loss of tensile strength, Trusynth Fast suture should not be used where extended approximation of tissue under stress is required or where wound support beyond 7 days is required. It should not be used for ligation, and in cardiovascular and neurological tissues.
