- A 4-0 Chromic Gut absorbable suture designed for reliable, high-tensile strength wound closure in dental and surgical procedure
Uses
- General soft tissue closure:
- Used for reliable and effective closure in a wide range of oral, general, and GYN surgical procedures
- Surgical procedures where removal is difficult:
- As an absorbable suture, it is a suitable choice for procedures where suture removal would be difficult or unnecessary
- Periodontal surgery:
- Commonly employed in various surgical procedures where an absorbable material with predictable absorption time is desired
Features
- Absorbable material:
- The suture is made from catgut, a natural material treated with chromic salts to increase its longevity
- Predictable absorption:
- Provides wound support for approximately 10–14 days and is absorbed within 60–90 days, though absorption time can vary by placement site
- Monofilament construction:
- The suture has a smooth, monofilament surface, which reduces tissue drag during passage and knot placement
- Undyed:
- It is undyed (beige/natural color), which can be desirable for use in certain areas or for minimal visibility
- Superior Point Needle:
- Features a sharp, high-quality stainless steel C-6 needle that is honed with a unique multi-edged point for greater ease of penetration
- Superior Attachment:
- The needles are laser-drilled for a seamless needle-suture juncture, providing a smoother transition with less tissue disruption
- Sterile packaging:
- Each strand is individually sealed in a sterile pack to ensure safety and prevent waste
Benefits
- High-Quality Material:
- Made of first-quality raw material, providing dependable, uniform absorption, and high tensile strength
- Enhanced Handling:
- Precision-polished monofilament ensures smooth, secure knotting
- Reduced Tissue Trauma:
- Features a Drilled-to-Suture needle-suture junction, allowing for a seamless, smooth transition and less tissue disruption
- Superior Penetration:
- Needles are honed with a unique multi-edged point, offering excellent penetration
- Optimal Performance & Packaging:
- 3/8 circle 18mm reverse cutting needle is ideal for precision, while the double-sterile barrier packaging eliminates waste
- Reliable Absorption:
- Chromic gut allows for a predictable, slower absorption rate compared to plain gut
