The CP Medical Chromic Gut Natural Absorbable Sutures with Taper Point Needles, 1/2 Circle, are twisted, sterile and latex-free surgical sutures indicated for use in internal tissue, ophthalmic and oral/maxillofacial procedures.
Made of purified connective serosal tissue of mostly collagen origin, Chromic Gut is treated with chromic salt solution. These sutures display optimal tensile strength, excellent knot security, and uniform surface smoothness. These sutures are also suitable for veterinary use. Absorption is facilitated through an enzymatic process similar to the digestion of animal protein in the body, which takes approximately 14- 28 days.
Chromic Gut Sutures are available in various sizes and suture lengths. Size 0 is used for closure of the fascia layer in abdominal surgery, or for knee, hip and back surgery; Sizes 2-0 and 3-0 are used for closure of muscle layers or bowel repair; while 4-0 is great for larger vessel repair. These sutures feature taper point needles, which have a blunt point and no cutting edge. This needle is designed for separating tissue fibres rather than for cutting. Available in 12 per box. Proudly made in the USA.
