Description

Suture, Chromic Gut 4-0 1X27 SH-1 is a sterile, absorbable surgical suture composed of high-quality catgut material. The strands are uniformly polished to maintain a consistent diameter, ensuring smooth passage through tissue. This suture is treated with a chromic salt solution to enhance durability and control absorption time. The material retains high initial tensile strength before gradual absorption through enzymatic degradation.

The suture is equipped with a Taper Point needle, designed to penetrate and pass through delicate tissue with minimal resistance. The needle’s non-reflective finish allows for better visibility under surgical lighting, reducing glare during procedures. Its smooth surface minimizes tissue trauma, preventing unnecessary damage and facilitating a more efficient suturing process.

Due to its predictable absorption rate, the chromic gut suture is commonly used in soft tissue approximation and ligation, particularly in internal surgical applications. It is frequently employed in gynecological, gastrointestinal, and urological procedures where extended wound support is required. The suture provides a secure and reliable closure while minimizing the risk of foreign body reactions.
