Bengaluru-based Healthium Medtech has launched TRUMAS, a range of sutures designed to address challenges faced during suturing in minimal access surgeries. 

Minimal access surgery (MAS), a technique that has gained remarkable momentum over the last two decades, is now considered the gold standard for performing surgeries across various medical specialties. Clinicians have witnessed a surge in technological advancements enhancing surgical precision and patient outcomes. However, suturing within the realm of MAS has been relatively untouched by specialized development, often relying heavily on the skills of practicing surgeons.

In conversations with numerous minimal access surgeons across India, Healthium identified unmet needs in suturing during such procedures that can significantly enhance surgical outcomes. Leveraging its position as one of the world’s largest suture manufacturers and the largest surgical needle producer by volume, Healthium's dedicated R&D, design and engineering teams have transformed insightful ideas and expert suggestions into a tangible solution - TRUMAS.

The portfolio consists of multiple needle and suture combinations designed to offer the complete range of solution to surgeons including: Anti-reflective needles to reduce eye fatigue, optimally curved needles with appropriate length for easy introduction and manoeuvrability, square body needles for better grip and optimised suture length including short length barb sutures.
