- Designed for surgical procedures requiring a natural, absorbable material with extended strength retention, featuring a precision-engineered needle and specialized packaging to minimize tissue trauma and material memory
Uses
- Oral Surgery:
- Frequently used for soft tissue approximation and closure in dental procedures, including oral mucosal grafts
- General Wound Closure:
- Suitable for ligating and approximating soft tissues where an absorbable material is preferred
- Rapid Healing Tissues:
- Ideal for internal tissues that heal relatively quickly but require more support than plain gut provides
Features
- Material:
- Natural Chromic Gut monofilament, treated with chromic salt to delay absorption
- Absorbability:
- Fully absorbable through enzymatic digestion
- Needle Specifications:
- Equipped with a C-3 Precision Reverse Cutting needle, featuring a 3/8 circle curvature and a 13mm length
- Suture Dimensions:
- The suture is 18 inches long with a 4-0 size
- Coating:
- The monofilament is coated to enhance handling and passage
- Packaging:
- Supplied in a double-sterile barrier "racetrack" package to reduce suture memory and protect the needle
Benefits
- Predictable Performance:
- Made from high-quality raw materials to ensure dependable absorption and high initial tensile strength
- Reduced Tissue Trauma:
- The "Superior Point" needle is honed with a multi-edged point for easier penetration, and the drilled attachment provides a seamless needle-suture juncture for smoother transitions
- Improved Handling:
- Every strand is precision-polished to a uniform diameter, which facilitates smooth and secure knotting
- Efficiency:
- The "Racetrack" packaging design allows the suture to be released with less "memory" (coiling), making it easier to handle immediately upon removal
