Description

The 5-0 Plain Gut Suture with Reverse Cutting Needle is a sterile, absorbable monofilament suture designed for secure tissue approximation and wound closure. The suture is composed of undyed plain gut, offering natural absorption properties with variable strength retention and mass absorption suitable for delicate surgical procedures. The uniform diameter and precision-polished surface allow for smooth passage through tissue and facilitate reliable knot tying.

The reverse cutting needle is 3/8 circle in shape and 19 mm in length, constructed from stainless steel to provide strength and sharpness for controlled tissue penetration. The needle is designed to minimize trauma to delicate tissues while maintaining high accuracy during suturing. This configuration is particularly effective in oral, dermatologic, and soft-tissue closures requiring precise, secure knots.

Each suture is 45 cm (18 inches) in length, individually packaged and sterile to maintain aseptic technique. The monofilament structure of the suture minimizes tissue drag and reduces infection risk while enabling predictable absorption over time. The sterile pack contains 12 units, ensuring readiness for multiple procedures.
