Chromic Gut Sutures Size 4-0 | 27” | SH | 1/2 Circle Undyed
ETH-G121H
Ethicon
Skin Closure
The G121H Chromic Gut Sutures are high-quality surgical sutures designed for reliable performance in wound closure and tissue approximation. These sutures are made from purified connective tissue (mostly collagen) derived from the serosal layer of beef (bovine) or the submucosal fibrous layer of sheep (ovine) intestines.
Key Features:
- Material:
- Chromic Gut: These sutures are treated with chromic salts to prolong their absorption time, making them suitable for areas where extended wound support is required.
- 4-0 (USP): This indicates the diameter of the suture, where 4-0 is fine and suitable for delicate tissues.
- 27 inches (68 cm): Provides ample length for various suturing techniques and procedures.
- SH (Small Half Circle): This is a 1/2 circle needle, ideal for shallow or medium-depth tissues, facilitating easier maneuvering and placement.
- These sutures gradually break down and are absorbed by the body, eliminating the need for removal and minimizing the risk of infection.
- Enhanced Strength: Chromic Gut Sutures maintain their tensile strength for a longer period compared to plain gut sutures, providing extended wound support.
- General Surgery: Suitable for soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic surgery but not for cardiovascular or neurological procedures.
- Gynecology: Effective for procedures involving the female reproductive system.
- Urology: Ideal for urological procedures where prolonged support is necessary.
- Sterile and ready for use in sterile environments to prevent contamination and infection.
Benefits:
- Prolonged Absorption Time: Chromic treatment delays absorption, providing extended wound support, which is crucial for healing in slow-healing tissues.
- Biocompatibility: Made from natural materials, reducing the risk of adverse reactions.
- Convenience: Absorbable nature eliminates the need for suture removal, enhancing patient comfort and reducing follow-up visits.
