- A sterile, absorbable Chromic Gut monofilament suture with a needle, used primarily for internal tissue ligation and surgical procedures where temporary wound support is required
Uses
- Soft Tissue Approximation:
- Ideal for general surgical procedures involving internal tissues that will eventually heal and no longer require artificial support
- Dental Surgery:
- Frequently used in oral surgery and implantology for wound closure
- Internal Ligation:
- Suitable for ligating superficial vessels and tissues where an absorbable material is preferred
Features
- Material:
- Made from high-quality Chromic Gut, a natural absorbable material treated with chromic salts to delay absorption
- Suture Size and Length:
- Suture size 4-0 with a total length of 18 inches (approximately 45cm)
- DSM19 Needle:
- Features an 18mm Precision Reverse Cutting 3/8 circle needle
- Construction:
- Monofilament design with a uniform, precision-polished diameter
- Packaging:
- Sterile and individually sealed, typically sold in a box of 12
Benefits
- Predictable Absorption:
- Ensures dependable and consistent absorption within the body
- High Tensile Strength:
- Provides extremely high initial tensile strength to secure tissues during the early stages of healing
- Superior Needle Penetration:
- The Henry Schein needle is honed with a unique multi-edged point for easier tissue penetration
- Smooth Tissue Passage:
- The uniform smooth surface allows for easy passage through delicate tissues with minimal disruption
- Minimal Waste:
- Uses unique double-sterile barrier packaging to ensure sterility and reduce the risk of contamination in surgical environments
