Sutures. Chromic Gut. 525B 3-0 18" C-6 3/8 Circle 19mm 12/Pk

These Chromic Gut sutures are absorbable, sterile surgical threads made from purified connective tissue derived from either the serosal layer of beef or the submucosal fibrous layer of sheep intestines. Designed for reliable soft tissue approximation and ligation, these sutures provide effective wound closure with a natural resorption process.

• Size: 3-0 with an 18-inch length
• Needle type: C-6, 3/8 circle, 19mm
• Sterility: Sterile packaging for safe surgical use
• Resorption time: 10–15 days for absorption
• Packaging: 12 sutures per pack

Compared to standard synthetic absorbable sutures, Chromic Gut sutures offer a natural bioabsorbable option that minimizes tissue inflammation and promotes better healing in soft tissues. Unlike previous plain gut models, these Chromic Gut sutures are treated with chromium salt, enhancing their tensile strength and extending absorption time, making them suitable for surgeries requiring longer wound support such as oral and periodontal procedures.

Key Technical Advantages:
Technology and Performance

The Chromic Gut sutures’ unique composition from purified collagen delivers superior handling characteristics and knot security, which are critical in delicate tissue approximation. Their 10–15 day absorption period aligns with the natural healing process, reducing the need for suture removal and minimizing patient discomfort. The C-6 needle with a 3/8 circle shape and 19mm length enables precise penetration and easy maneuverability in tight surgical sites. Packaged sterile in convenient sets of twelve, these sutures ensure consistent performance and safety for a variety of general surgical needs. This balance of absorbability, strength, and ease of use makes the Chromic Gut sutures a preferred choice for surgeons performing soft tissue closures with optimal healing outcomes.
