Product Overview
The Covidien UG-246 Absorbable Suture with Needle is a high-quality surgical suture designed for secure wound closure. Made from chromic gut, this suture offers excellent tensile strength and is naturally absorbed by the body over time, reducing the need for removal. The suture is pre-attached to a GU-45 5/8 circle taper point needle, providing precision and ease during suturing.
Features:
- Absorbable Material: Chromic gut suture is gradually absorbed by enzymatic digestion, making it ideal for internal and superficial wound closure.
- Taper Point Needle: The 5/8 circle needle design ensures smooth tissue penetration with minimal trauma.
- Reliable Strength: Size 0 suture provides optimal strength for various surgical applications.
- Sterile & Ready-to-Use: Pre-packaged and sterilized for immediate use in clinical settings.
Specifications:
- Suture Material: Chromic Gut
- Needle Type: GU-45 5/8 Circle Taper Point
- Suture Size: 0
- Absorption Rate: Typically absorbed within 10–14 days, with extended strength retention compared to plain gut.
Suggested Use:
This suture is well-suited for general soft tissue approximation in surgeries such as ophthalmology, dermatology, and gastrointestinal procedures. It is particularly effective in tissues requiring moderate support during the healing phase. Always follow standard surgical protocols for wound closure and patient care.
