- Absorbable, monofilament suture with a C-3 needle, designed for soft tissue closure in medical and dental surgical procedures
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
- Tissue approximation:
- Used to bring together and ligate soft tissue
Features
- Absorbable material:
- The suture is made from catgut, a natural material treated with chromic salts to increase its longevity and aid in a dependable, predictable absorption time
- Coated:
- The material is coated to provide a smooth surface for easy passage through tissue
- Monofilament construction:
- The suture has a smooth, monofilament structure, which reduces tissue drag during passage and knot placement
- Undyed:
- It is undyed (beige/natural color), which can be desirable for use in areas where minimal visibility is preferred
- Superior Point Needle (C-3):
- Features a sharp, high-quality stainless steel needle (C-3) honed with a 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
- Predictable absorption:
- In-vivo tensile strength retention of gut suture varies by type and site of placement, but the chromic treatment provides a predictable absorption profile
