Absorbable Suture with Needle Covidien Chromic Gut V-20 1/2 Circle Taper Point Needle Size 3-0 Monofilament

This Covidien Chromic Gut suture is specifically indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation. It is also approved for use in ophthalmic surgical procedures.

Yes. This suture is strictly contraindicated for use in cardiovascular, neurological, or microsurgical procedures.

The suture is treated with a chromic salt solution, which regulates the enzymatic absorption process. This modification results in a more gradual loss of tensile strength and mass compared to plain gut sutures.

The V-20 Surgalloy taper point needle is designed for high-performance and consistency. Its 1/2 circle shape and taper point design are optimized for smooth, controlled tissue penetration while minimizing trauma.

Because it is an absorbable material stored in a liquid medium, it should be kept in its sterile packaging until the moment of use to ensure it maintains its specified tensile strength and pliability.

The 1/2 circle arc of the V-20 needle is specifically engineered to provide an ergonomic range of motion, making it easier to maneuver through tissue during deep or restricted surgical access.

Yes, each suture is delivered in a sterile storage solution (consisting of 87% isopropanol, 12% water, and 1% triethanolamine) to maintain material integrity, keeping it ready for immediate use upon opening.

This assembly includes a V-20 needle with a length of 26 mm.

Yes, this is a monofilament absorbable suture, which is often preferred for its smooth passage through tissue.

Each unit provides a 30-inch suture length, suitable for standard ligation and approximation tasks.
