- A Plain Gut absorbable surgical suture pre-attached to an 18mm reverse cutting needle that is primarily used for rapid wound closure in medical and dental procedures where a suture that naturally degrades and is absorbed by the body is required
Uses
- General Wound Closure:
- Used for closing internal and external soft tissue incisions that do not require long-term support
- Oral Surgery:
- Frequently utilized in dental procedures for gingival or mucosal closure where suture removal might be difficult or uncomfortable for the patient
- Rapid Healing Sites:
- Ideal for tissues that heal quickly, as plain gut material allows for rapid absorption by the body
Features
- Suture Material:
- Plain Gut monofilament, a natural absorbable material that is uncoated and has a beige color
- Suture Size & Length:
- The thread is size 3-0 and measures 27 inches (70cm) in length
- Needle Type:
- Features a C-6 Reverse Cutting needle, which is a 3/8 circle needle measuring 18mm
- Needle Construction:
- Crafted from 300-series stainless steel and silicone-coated to provide superior point geometry and strength
- Sterile Packaging:
- Supplied in a box of 12 sutures using a unique double-barrier sterile packaging system and a "Racetrack" dispenser to reduce material memory
Benefits
- Atraumatic Penetration:
- Each needle is honed to a fine, multiedged point that penetrates tissue easily with minimal surrounding trauma
- Seamless Transition:
- The needle-to-suture juncture is drilled for a seamless attachment, which ensures a smoother transition through tissue and less disruption during placement
- High Tensile Strength:
- The high-quality plain gut material provides reliable initial strength to secure wound areas safely
- Improved Handling:
- The Racetrack packaging design minimizes the number of rotations around the track, significantly reducing suture memory and making the material easier for clinicians to handle
