Description
Chromic Gut Absorbable Suture is a surgical suture renowned for its absorbable nature, composed of purified connective tissue, primarily collagen. Derived from the serosal layer of beef or the submucosal fibrous layer of sheep intestines, it offers a reliable solution for soft tissue approximation and ligation. Its absorbable nature makes it ideal for surgical procedures where long-term support is not required.
The suture is designed with a taper point for ease of penetration through tissues, ensuring precise and efficient suturing. With a size of 4/0 and a length of 27 inches, it provides versatility for various surgical applications, including ophthalmic procedures. Its chromic coating enhances its tensile strength and knot security, allowing for secure and reliable closure of wounds.
Packaged conveniently in sets of 36 each, organized into 3 dozen packs per box, this suture is readily available for surgical use. It is essential to note that it is not suitable for cardiovascular and neurological tissues, as its absorption rate may not align with the requirements of these specialized procedures.
Surgical gut suture is an absorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of purified connective tissue (mostly collagen) derived from either the serosal layer of beef (bovine) or the submucosal fibrous layer of sheep (ovine) intestines. Surgical gut sutures are available in plain or chromic. Chromic gut is processed to provide greater resistance to absorption. Surgical gut suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures, but not for use in cardiovascular and neurological tissues.
