Sutures. Chromic Gut. 558B 4-0 18" C-6 3/8 Circle 19mm 12/Pk

These Chromic Gut sutures are absorbable, sterile surgical sutures crafted from purified connective tissue derived from the serosal layer of beef or the submucosal fibrous layer of sheep intestines. Designed for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, these sutures are ideal for oral and periodontal surgery applications.

• Size: 4-0
• Length: 18 inches
• Needle type: C-6, 3/8 circle
• Needle length: 19 mm
• Pack quantity: 12 sutures per pack

Compared to industry standards, these Chromic Gut sutures offer a reliable and consistent absorption profile, with resorption occurring within 10 to 15 days. This performance is in line with or exceeds similar products on the market, ensuring optimal healing time for general soft tissue procedures. The needle size and curvature provide precise control and minimal tissue trauma, enhancing surgical accuracy.

Key Technical Advantages:
The 4-0 sizing ensures a fine balance between tensile strength and minimal tissue reaction, making these sutures suitable for delicate procedures. The C-6 3/8 circle needle with a 19mm length offers excellent maneuverability in confined surgical sites, while the sterile packaging maintains the highest level of infection control. The absorbable nature eliminates the need for suture removal, promoting patient comfort and reducing follow-up visits.

Technology and Performance
Chromic Gut sutures are treated to delay absorption, providing sustained wound support during the critical early stages of healing. Their natural origin contributes to excellent handling characteristics and knot security compared to synthetic alternatives. These sutures maintain tensile strength long enough to support tissue approximation while ensuring gradual absorption that matches tissue healing rates, reducing the risk of premature suture failure.
