Description

The Chromic Gut 4-0 1X18 PS-2 Suture is a specialized medical thread made from natural fibers, treated with chromium salts to delay its absorption by the body. This unique characteristic allows the suture to provide prolonged wound support, making it suitable for procedures where gradual healing is beneficial.

Its precise construction includes a precision reverse cutting needle, designed for sharpness and durability. This needle type is particularly advantageous in surgeries requiring meticulous tissue approximation, such as plastic surgery and ophthalmology, where clean incisions are crucial for optimal outcomes.

The suture's smooth surface ensures ease of passage through tissues, reducing trauma during suturing and enhancing patient comfort post-operation. Its composition of chromic gut ensures reliable tensile strength and knot security, essential for secure wound closure. Surgeons appreciate its predictable absorption profile, which supports the healing process without causing excessive tissue reaction or irritation.

Due to its absorbable nature, the Chromic Gut 4-0 1X18 PS-2 Suture gradually dissolves over time, eliminating the need for suture removal and reducing patient discomfort associated with follow-up procedures.
