Sharpoint Plain Gut Sutures Size 6-0 | 18" | P-3 3/8 Circle Undyed
Surgical Specialties
Product Overview:
The Sharpoint Plain Gut Sutures, Size 6-0, are high-quality absorbable surgical sutures made from purified collagen derived from the serosal layer of bovine intestines. These sutures are specifically designed for use in general soft tissue approximation and ligation, particularly in situations where short-term wound support is required. The undyed, 18-inch length sutures are equipped with a P-3 3/8 Circle needle, making them ideal for delicate tissue handling.
Key Features:
- Natural Absorbable Material:
- Made from purified collagen, these plain gut sutures are completely absorbable by the body through enzymatic digestion, eliminating the need for removal and minimizing the risk of long-term tissue reaction.
- The 6-0 size is particularly suitable for delicate surgical procedures, such as ophthalmic, general, and soft tissue surgeries, where a finer suture is required. The 18-inch length allows for adequate handling and secure knot placement.
- The attached P-3 3/8 Circle needle is specially designed for precision and ease of use in confined or delicate areas. The sharp, curved needle allows for smooth penetration with minimal tissue trauma, enhancing the efficiency of the suturing process.
- The undyed nature of the suture provides low visibility in tissues, making it ideal for surgeries where minimal suture detection is desired or necessary, such as on the face or in aesthetic procedures.
- Sharpoint Plain Gut Sutures are versatile and suitable for a wide range of procedures, including ophthalmic, gastrointestinal, gynecological, and general surgeries, where absorbable sutures are preferred.
Intended Use: These sutures are intended for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures. They provide reliable performance in areas requiring quick tissue support and rapid absorption, suitable for both minor and major surgical applications.
Benefits:
- Reliable Absorption: Absorbed naturally by the body, reducing the need for suture removal and promoting patient comfort and convenience.
- Reduced Tissue Reaction: Being made from natural collagen, they are less likely to cause significant inflammatory reactions compared to synthetic alternatives.
- Optimal Handling: Provides excellent knot security and handling properties, ensuring that sutures remain securely in place during the critical initial wound healing period.
- Sterile Packaging: Each suture is packaged in a sterile pack, maintaining strict hygiene and reducing the risk of infection.
Packaging and Availability: Sharpoint Plain Gut Sutures Size 6-0, 18" in length with P-3 3/8 Circle needles, are available in individual sterile packs. Multiple packs are offered to accommodate varying surgical needs and supply requirements.
