TRO-PGA Rapid: Faster absorption Polyglycolic Acid sutures, no tensile strength after 14 days, used in subcutaneous closures and pediatric surgeries.
TRO-GLACTOFIL: Polyglactin 910 sutures, retain 75% tensile strength after 14 days, absorb in 56-70 days, for general and plastic surgeries.
TRO-DOXAFIL: Polydioxanone monofilament sutures, retain 50% tensile strength after 28 days, absorb in 180-210 days, for extended wound support.
TRO-GLECAFIL: Polyglecaprone 25 monofilament sutures, retain 50% tensile strength after 1 week, absorb in 90-120 days, used in gynecology and ophthalmology.
TRO-PLAINFIL and TRO-CHROFIL: Catgut sutures with varying absorption times, for soft tissue approximation.
TRO-PROPYFIL: Polypropylene monofilament sutures, no tensile strength loss, used in cardiovascular and plastic surgeries.

Sutures Overview
The catalogue provides detailed specifications for each suture type, including material, structure, size range, color, tensile strength retention, absorption time, and usage indications, aiding medical professionals in selecting the appropriate suture for specific surgical needs.

Additional Information
The document includes a table correlating USP sizes with Ph Eur. (Metric) diameters, offering precise measurements for each suture size. It also illustrates various needle shapes and tips used in surgical procedures.

Needle Types and Applications

Round Bodied: For gentle separation of fibrous tissues like aponeurosis, biliary tract, dura, fascia, gastrointestinal tract, etc.
Cutting Needles: Includes conventional cutting for skin and sternum, reverse cutting for tough tissues like fascia and ligaments, and premium cutting for cosmetic skin procedures.
Taper Point: Suitable for blunt dissection in friable tissues and organs like the cervix, fascia, intestine, kidney, liver, and spleen.
Taper Cut: Designed for easy penetration of dense, tough tissue.
Spatula: Primarily used for eye surgeries.

Needle Curvature
The choice of needle shape is influenced by the accessibility of the tissue. More confined operative sites require greater curvature. Basic shapes include 3/8 circle, 1/2 circle, 1/4 circle, 5/8 circle, J shape, and compound curve.

Suture Materials

Materials include Polyglycolic Acid, Polyglactin 910, Polydioxanone, Polyglecaprone 25, Chromic catgut, Plain catgut, Polypropylene, Nylon, Silk, and Polyester.
