Description

Chromic Gut 4-0 suture is a natural, absorbable surgical suture designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation. It is made from purified collagen derived from the serosal layer of bovine intestines. The suture undergoes treatment with a chromic salt solution, which enhances its resistance to enzymatic degradation and prolongs absorption time compared to plain gut sutures.

The suture features a Taper Point RB-1 needle, allowing smooth penetration through delicate tissues with minimal trauma. The non-reflective finish enhances visibility under bright surgical lights, ensuring precise placement. The uniform diameter and precision polishing of each strand contribute to secure knotting and controlled tension distribution, reducing the risk of knot slippage.

Chromic Gut 4-0 is absorbed through enzymatic digestion, making it ideal for procedures where gradual absorption is preferred. Absorption time varies based on tissue conditions and patient factors, typically occurring within 90 days. The prolonged absorption profile provides sufficient wound support while eliminating the need for suture removal.
