Covidien - Medtronic - G-13 - Absorbable Suture Without Needle Chromic Gut Size 2 - 0

Below are the key product attributes and specifications that provide detailed information about this item:

The Covidien G-13 Absorbable Suture Without Needle Chromic Gut Size 2-0 is a high-quality surgical suture designed for soft tissue approximation and ligation. Made from natural chromicized collagen derived from healthy sheep or beef intestines, this suture provides reliable strength and predictable absorption. The chromic salt treatment extends absorption time compared to plain gut, making it suitable for tissues requiring slightly longer support.

Features:
- Absorbable: Naturally breaks down in the body over time, eliminating the need for suture removal.
- Chromic Treatment: Enhances resistance to absorption, providing extended wound support compared to plain gut.
- Consistent Tensile Strength: Offers dependable holding power during the critical healing phase.
- Flexible & Easy Handling: Smooth surface allows for easy knotting and secure placement.
- Sterile & Safe: Individually packaged and sterilized for immediate use in surgical procedures.

Specifications:
- Material: Chromicized collagen (chromic gut)
- Size: 2-0 (USP)
- Length: Varies (standard lengths available)
- Absorption Rate: Typically absorbed within 21–28 days in tissues.
- Needle: Not included (suture only)

Suggested Use:
Ideal for general soft tissue closure in surgeries such as ophthalmic, dermatologic, or gastrointestinal procedures where moderate wound support is needed. Suitable for internal tissues where extended absorption is beneficial. Always follow standard surgical protocols for suture selection based on patient needs and tissue type.

(Note: Ensure compliance with institutional guidelines and patient-specific considerations before use.)
