Product Description
Surgical Specialties - C792n - Chromic Gut Suture, Reverse Cutting, 3/8 Circle
The Chromic Gut Suture by Surgical Specialties is an absorbable, sterile surgical suture designed for optimal wound closure. This suture is made from purified connective tissue, treated with chromium salts for enhanced strength and absorption characteristics. It is particularly useful in soft tissue ligation and approximation where natural absorption is preferred. The reverse cutting needle ensures smooth tissue penetration with reduced trauma, while the 3/8 circle configuration provides precision in confined surgical areas.
Features:
- Absorbable: Naturally breaks down in the body over time, eliminating the need for removal.
- Chromic Salt Treated: Enhances tensile strength and delays absorption compared to plain gut.
- Reverse Cutting Needle: Minimizes tissue damage during insertion.
- 3/8 Circle Needle Geometry: Improves maneuverability in tight surgical spaces.
- Sterile: Ready for immediate use in surgical procedures.

Use Suggestion:
This suture is ideal for general soft tissue closure, including subcutaneous layers and mucosal tissues. It is commonly used in ophthalmic, plastic, and dermatologic procedures where natural absorption is advantageous. For best results, handle with care to maintain sterility and avoid premature absorption due to excessive moisture exposure. Store in a dry, cool environment.
