Description

Chromic Gut Absorbable Suture, Size 3/0, 27", features a taper point needle with a 1/2 circle curvature, designed to facilitate smooth passage through soft tissues while minimizing trauma. The suture material is derived from purified connective collagen tissue obtained from bovine serosal layers. The chromic treatment extends the absorption time compared to plain gut sutures, providing prolonged wound support.

The chromic coating on the suture material allows gradual enzymatic absorption, typically maintaining tensile strength for up to 10 to 14 days. Complete absorption occurs within approximately 90 days, reducing the need for suture removal and decreasing patient discomfort. This characteristic makes the suture suitable for internal tissues requiring temporary support during healing.

The taper point needle is engineered for precise tissue penetration without cutting, making it ideal for delicate or friable tissues such as those encountered in gastrointestinal or gynecologic surgery. The 1/2 circle shape enhances maneuverability in confined surgical fields and facilitates secure placement.
