This is another great addition to our robust and dynamic product portfolio in the wound closure segment.

By blending surgical expertise with innovative technology, we at Healthium aim to empower surgeons to deliver better outcomes and enhance patient care."

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 - TRUMASTM.
The portfolio consists of multiple needle and suture combinations designed to offer the complete range of solution to surgeons including: Antireflective 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.
