Absorbable Suture with Needle Covidien Chromic Gut P-13 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting Needle Size 4-0 Monofilament

Yes. The suture is treated with a chromic salt solution, which regulates the enzymatic dissolution process. This ensures a predictable loss of both tensile strength and material mass, providing consistent performance during the healing process.

Absolutely. The Covidien Chromic Gut suture is specifically indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ophthalmic surgery, making it a trusted choice for delicate clinical applications.

The P-13 3/8 circle precision reverse cutting needle is engineered for superior tissue penetration. Its design allows for accurate, controlled engagement, which is essential for achieving precise results in sensitive surgical environments.

To ensure maximum quality, each suture is stored in a specialized solution consisting of:

• 87% isopropanol
• 12% water
• 1% triethanolamine
  This environment keeps the monofilament material in optimal condition until the point of use.

This product features a 4-0 size suture, which is a standard gauge used in a variety of soft tissue approximation procedures.

Yes. While highly effective for general soft tissue and ophthalmic use, this product is explicitly not indicated for:

• Cardiovascular surgery
• Neurological surgery
• Microsurgical applications

Each individual suture strand provided in the pack measures 18 inches in length, providing sufficient material for standard ligation and approximation tasks.

Each purchase includes a 12-strand pack, with each strand featuring its own precision-engineered 13 mm needle.

Yes. When implanted, the suture elicits a mild, expected foreign body inflammatory response, which is a standard and anticipated part of the enzymatic degradation process leading to eventual total absorption.

For the best results, these sutures should be handled with standard surgical instrumentation that is properly calibrated for 4-0 gauge surgical materials.
