Description

The Suture, Chromic Gut 3-0 1X27 PS-2 is an absorbable surgical suture composed of purified connective tissue derived from the serosal layer of bovine intestines. Treated with a chromic salt solution, this suture undergoes controlled enzymatic degradation, extending its tensile strength retention period compared to plain gut sutures. The chromic treatment enhances its resistance to absorption, allowing for sustained wound support during the early phases of healing.

This suture is equipped with a PS-2 Reverse Cutting Needle, a precision-engineered stainless steel needle designed for optimal penetration through tough or dense tissues. The reverse cutting design features a sharpened outer edge that minimizes tissue damage while providing superior cutting efficiency. The needle's non-reflective finish ensures enhanced visibility under surgical lighting, reducing glare and improving procedural accuracy.

The Chromic Gut 3-0 maintains approximately 50% of its tensile strength for up to 14 days, gradually losing strength over time as it undergoes enzymatic absorption. Complete mass absorption typically occurs within 90 days, making it suitable for applications where temporary wound support is required.
