Description

Suture, Chromic Gut 4-0 1X27 FS-2 is an absorbable surgical suture designed to provide temporary wound support. Manufactured from high-quality catgut, this suture undergoes treatment with a chromic salt solution, which enhances its resistance to enzymatic degradation and prolongs its absorption time. The chromic treatment provides increased tensile strength retention, allowing for reliable wound closure in tissues that require extended healing support.

The suture features a precision-polished strand, ensuring a uniform diameter that facilitates secure knotting. The enhanced knot security minimizes the risk of slippage, maintaining stability during the healing process. Its natural composition results in predictable absorption, typically occurring between 10 to 14 days, with complete mass absorption within 90 days.

Equipped with an FS-2 reverse cutting needle, the suture is designed for efficient penetration through dense or fibrous tissues. The reverse cutting needle provides optimal strength, reducing tissue distortion and ensuring precise wound closure. The non-reflective finish of the needle enhances visibility under bright surgical lighting, improving procedural accuracy.
