Product Overview
The Covidien CG-812 Absorbable Suture with Needle is a high-quality surgical suture designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation. Made from chromic gut, this suture offers excellent tensile strength and predictable absorption, making it ideal for tissues that require moderate support during healing. The suture is naturally absorbed by enzymatic digestion, minimizing tissue reaction.
Features:
- Material: Chromic gut (absorbable) for controlled absorption
- Needle Type: GS-21 1/2 Circle Taper Point
- Needle Size: 0
- Absorption: Gradually absorbed by the body, reducing the need for suture removal
- Tensile Strength: Provides reliable wound support during the critical healing phase
- Sterile: Individually packaged for single-use safety
Specifications:
- Suture Length: Standard length for surgical convenience
- Needle Attachment: Securely swaged for smooth tissue penetration
- Suture Gauge: Size 0 for optimal handling and strength
- Color: Natural chromic gut appearance
Use Suggestion:
This suture is suitable for general soft tissue closure in ophthalmology, dermatology, and minor surgical procedures where absorbable sutures are preferred. The taper point needle ensures precise placement with minimal trauma, making it ideal for delicate tissues. Store in a dry, cool place and use before the expiration date for best performance.
(Note: Always follow institutional protocols and surgeon’s preference for suture selection.)
