Description

Chromic Gut 4-0 suture with PS-4 needle is an absorbable surgical suture designed for soft tissue approximation where temporary wound support is required. The suture is composed of high-quality catgut treated with chromic salt solution to delay absorption and enhance tensile strength retention. Its undyed, monofilament structure ensures minimal tissue reaction and smooth passage through tissue.

The suture is attached to a precision reverse cutting needle made of stainless steel, featuring a 1/2 circle curvature and a 20 mm length. The reverse cutting design enhances penetration through tough tissues while reducing the risk of tissue tearing. A non-reflective needle finish improves visibility under intense surgical lighting, supporting precise handling during procedures.

Each strand is uniformly polished to maintain consistent diameter, enabling secure knot tying and reliable performance. The chromic treatment provides predictable absorption rates, making it suitable for procedures requiring extended wound support compared to plain gut sutures. The uncoated surface ensures controlled handling without compromising knot security.
