Product Overview
The Covidien GG-124 Absorbable Suture with Needle is a high-quality surgical suture designed for reliable wound closure. Made from chromic gut, this absorbable suture provides excellent tensile strength and is naturally broken down by the body over time, eliminating the need for removal. The suture is paired with a V-20 1/2 Circle Taper Point Needle, ensuring precise and smooth tissue penetration with minimal trauma.
Features:
- Absorbable Material: Chromic gut suture is treated for enhanced strength and reduced tissue reaction.
- Taper Point Needle: The 1/2 circle V-20 needle offers superior control and minimizes tissue damage.
- Size 0 Suture: Provides optimal strength for general soft tissue approximation.
- Reliable Absorption: Gradually absorbs within the body, eliminating suture removal procedures.
Specifications:
- Suture Material: Chromic Gut
- Needle Type: V-20, 1/2 Circle, Taper Point
- Suture Size: 0
- Absorption Rate: Varies based on tissue type and patient condition
- Sterile: Yes
Use Suggestion:
Ideal for general soft tissue closure in surgeries where absorbable sutures are preferred, such as subcutaneous layers, ligation, and gynecological procedures. The chromic gut suture is particularly suited for tissues requiring moderate wound support during the healing phase. Store in a dry, cool place and ensure proper aseptic technique during application.
This suture is a trusted choice for surgeons seeking a balance of strength, handling, and absorption in wound closure.
