Sutures 4/0 Chromic Gut #546B

Sutures 4/0 Chromic Gut #546B

Sutures 4/0 Chromic Gut #546B are absorbable, sterile surgical sutures designed for effective soft tissue approximation and ligation. Made from purified connective tissue derived from the serosal layer of beef or the submucosal fibrous layer of sheep intestines, these sutures provide reliable performance in various surgical procedures.

• Absorbable surgical suture with sterile packaging
• Chromic gut material ensures controlled resorption in 10–15 days
• Suitable gauge size 4/0 for delicate soft tissue closure
• Needle specifications: 18-inch length, 3/8 circle, 19mm needle
• Indicated for oral and periodontal surgery applications

Compared to industry standards, the Sutures 4/0 Chromic Gut #546B offers a natural absorbable option that minimizes tissue reaction. Their chromic treatment extends the strength retention compared to plain gut sutures, making them ideal for wounds requiring moderate healing time. When compared to non-absorbable sutures, these chromic gut sutures reduce the need for suture removal, enhancing patient comfort and compliance in post-operative care.

Key Technical Advantages:

• Sterility ensures safety and infection control during surgery
• Chromic treatment optimizes suture strength and absorption time
• Precisely sized needle facilitates easy handling and precise placement
• Versatile use in both oral and periodontal surgeries, along with general soft tissue approximation

Technology and Performance

The absorbable nature of Sutures 4/0 Chromic Gut #546B eliminates the need for removal, thanks to a controlled absorption period of 10 to 15 days. This feature supports natural healing while reducing the risk of foreign body reaction. The chromic coating provides enhanced resistance to enzymatic degradation, allowing the sutures to maintain tensile strength longer than plain gut variants. Furthermore, the surgical needle’s 3/8 circle curvature and 19mm length promote smooth penetration and minimal tissue trauma, ensuring efficient procedure flow and patient comfort. These attributes make Sutures 4/0 Chromic Gut #546B a trusted choice for surgeons seeking reliable, absorbable suture material for delicate tissue work.
