Description

Chronic Gut Suture, Size 3-0, offered in the LIGAPAK Ligating Reel format, is a sterile, absorbable surgical suture composed of purified connective tissue derived from the serosal layer of bovine intestines. This suture type is treated with a chromic salt solution, which prolongs its absorption time and enhances tensile strength retention. The chromic treatment also reduces the tissue reactivity commonly associated with plain gut sutures.

The LIGAPAK Ligating Reel provides an efficient, tangle-free dispensing system for continuous suture access. It is designed to facilitate quick ligation during surgery, minimizing suture waste and reducing operative time. This packaging format is especially advantageous in procedures requiring multiple ligatures or in high-volume surgical settings.

Chronic Gut Suture, Size 3-0, offers moderate tensile strength that is gradually absorbed by enzymatic digestion over a period of approximately 90 days. It is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation and ligation, particularly in areas with good healing potential.
