Description
Trulon SN 3336 is a non-absorbable surgical suture made of monofilament polyamide (nylon). It is designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation, offering long-term wound support. This suture is known for its smooth passage through tissue, which helps to minimize trauma during surgical procedures. It is commonly used for skin closure and in various surgical applications, including general, orthopedic, and ophthalmic surgeries.
Monofilament Polyamide Suture: Composed of polyamide, this suture has a smooth surface, allowing for easy passage through tissue with minimal drag. Non-Absorbable Material: Provides long-lasting wound support as it is not absorbed by the body, though it may gradually lose tensile strength over time. High Tensile Strength: The material offers substantial strength, ensuring secure wound closure. Minimal Tissue Reactivity: Being biologically inert, it causes a minimal inflammatory reaction in the tissue. Reverse Cutting Needle: The suture is attached to a 45 mm, 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle, which is suitable for suturing tough tissues like skin.
Q: What is Trulon SN 3336?
A: Trulon SN 3336 is a non-absorbable, sterile surgical suture made of monofilament polyamide, also known as nylon. It is designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation.
Q: What do the specifications '2-0', '70 cm', and 'RC' mean?
A: The term '2-0' refers to the suture's diameter as per U.S.P. standards, '70 cm' is the length of the suture thread, and 'RC' stands for 'Reverse Cutting', which describes the needle point type used for suturing tough tissues like skin.
Q: Is this suture absorbable by the body?
A: No, Trulon is a non-absorbable suture. It provides long-term wound support and needs to be removed by a healthcare professional after the tissue has healed sufficiently.
Q: What are the common applications for this type of suture?
A: It is frequently used for skin closure, general soft tissue closure, and in orthopedic or microsurgery due to its smooth passage through tissue and minimal tissue reaction.
Q: Who is qualified to use this product?
A: This surgical suture is a medical device intended for use only by qualified surgeons or healthcare professionals in a sterile, clinical environment.

Direction for Use/Dosage
This product is intended for use by qualified healthcare professionals in surgical settings for soft tissue approximation and/or ligation.
Safety Information/Precaution
This is a sterile product, intended for single-use only. It should not be used where permanent retention of tensile strength is required. While the suture is not absorbed, progressive hydrolysis in the body may lead to a gradual loss of tensile strength over time. It is not indicated for use in the central cardiovascular or central nervous systems. Always consult a healthcare professional for any medical advice or before any surgical procedure.
