Sutures 4/0 Chromic Gut

Sutures 4/0 Chromic Gut – Surgical Suture

Sutures 4/0 Chromic Gut are absorbable, sterile surgical sutures made from purified connective tissue derived from either the serosal layer of beef or the submucosal fibrous layer of sheep intestines. These sutures are designed for efficient soft tissue approximation and ligation in various surgical applications, including oral and periodontal surgery.

• Absorption period: 10–15 days
• Material: Purified connective tissue (beef serosal or sheep submucosal fibrous layer)
• Sterile packaging for immediate use
• Indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation
• Needle specifications: 18" length, C-6 3/8 Circle, 19 mm

Compared to standard suture options, the 4/0 Chromic Gut sutures provide reliable absorption with minimal tissue reaction, making them ideal for delicate soft tissue procedures. Unlike synthetic alternatives, the chromic treatment enhances resistance to enzymatic degradation, resulting in consistent resorption times suitable for a variety of surgical needs. This positions these sutures as a superior choice for oral and periodontal surgeries, where precision and tissue compatibility are critical.

Key Technical Advantages:

• Absorbable nature eliminates the need for suture removal, improving patient comfort and reducing follow-up visits
• Chromic treatment prolongs tensile strength, allowing sufficient time for tissue healing
• High sterility standards ensure safety and reduce the risk of infection
• Versatile use for both general soft tissue approximation and ligation enhances surgical flexibility
• Needle design improves handling and suturing accuracy during delicate procedures

Technology and Performance

These sutures leverage natural biological materials treated chromically to balance strength and absorption. Their 10–15 day resorption period aligns well with the average soft tissue healing timeline, providing optimal support during critical recovery phases. The sterile preparation and precise needle specifications further enhance surgical efficiency and patient outcomes, making the Sutures 4/0 Chromic Gut an essential tool for surgeons seeking reliable, high-performance absorbable sutures.
