Sutures. Chromic Gut. 559B 4-0 27" C-6 3/8 Circle 19mm 12/Pk
These Sutures in Chromic Gut are absorbable, sterile surgical threads designed for effective tissue approximation and ligation. Crafted from purified connective tissue derived from the serosal layer of beef or the submucosal fibrous layer of sheep intestines, they provide reliable performance in various soft tissue procedures.
- Size 4-0 for delicate tissue handling
- 27-inch length for extended reach during surgery
- C-6 needle model with a 3/8 circle curvature for precise control
- 19mm needle length optimizing penetration and minimal tissue trauma
- Pack contains 12 sterile sutures, ensuring availability during procedures
Compared to standard plain gut sutures, Chromic Gut sutures offer enhanced resistance to enzymatic degradation, increasing their absorption time to a reliable 10–15 days. This makes them particularly advantageous for oral and periodontal surgery where moderate wound support is essential. Additionally, their sterile packaging meets rigorous medical standards, making them a trusted choice among surgical professionals.
Key Technical Advantages:
Chromic Gut sutures combine natural tissue compatibility with a controlled resorption rate to minimize tissue reaction. The 4-0 size balances strength and delicacy for soft tissue approximation, while the 3/8 circle needle curvature provides excellent maneuverability in confined surgical sites. Their sterile nature and consistent quality elevate performance and safety in surgical environments.
Technology and Performance
The sutures utilize chromic salt treatment to delay absorption, offering prolonged wound support compared to plain gut. The needle design (C-6, 3/8 circle, 19mm) facilitates smooth, precise penetration with minimal trauma. Absorbability eliminates the need for suture removal, enhancing patient comfort during recovery. This balance of advanced material and ergonomic design results in superior surgical outcomes for a variety of general and specialized procedures.
