Description

Suture, Chromic Gut 5-0 1X18 PS-3 is a natural, absorbable suture composed of purified connective tissue derived from the serosal layer of bovine intestines. It is treated with a chromic salt solution to enhance tensile strength and prolong absorption, providing reliable wound support. This suture is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation but is not recommended for use in cardiovascular or neurological procedures.

The suture is equipped with a Reverse Cutting Needle, designed for efficient penetration through dense or fibrous tissues while minimizing tissue trauma. The precision manufacturing ensures consistent needle strength and sharpness, allowing for multiple passes without deformation. The needle features a non-reflective finish, improving visibility under bright surgical lights and enhancing accuracy in placement.

Chromic Gut sutures are processed to maintain an extremely high tensile strength while ensuring predictable absorption through enzymatic degradation. The strands undergo precision polishing to achieve a uniform diameter, facilitating smooth handling and secure knotting. This uniformity enhances suture performance, reducing friction during placement and minimizing the risk of knot slippage.
