Frequently asked questions
Is the material consistent for reliable knot security?
Yes. Each strand of the McKesson Chromic Gut suture is polished to a uniform diameter. This process ensures consistent strength and provides the secure knotting required during critical surgical procedures.
Does the needle design minimize tissue trauma?
Absolutely. The suture includes a P-13 precision reverse cutting needle. This specific design is engineered to allow for smooth tissue traversal, effectively minimizing trauma upon entry and during passage.
Is this suture safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, this product is 100% latex-free. It is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a suitable and safe choice for a broader range of patients in clinical settings.
What is the expected absorption performance?
This suture is formulated specifically for predictable absorption rates. It is designed to maintain high tensile strength throughout the healing process, providing reliable holding power until the wound has sufficiently closed.
What is the specific needle size and shape?
The needle is a P-13 precision reverse cutting needle. It features a 3/8 circle curvature and a 13 mm length, optimized for surgical precision.
How are the sutures packaged to ensure sterility?
Each box contains 12 individual strands, each encased in its own sterile packet. These packets are designed with a gold-colored foil finish to provide a protective, sterile barrier until the moment of use.
Is this suture considered a monofilament material?
Yes, it is a monofilament Chromic Gut suture. As a monofilament, it is designed to offer surgeons a high-tensile-strength option that is easier to handle during wound closure applications.
Can this be used for more than one procedure?
No, this product is strictly intended for single-use applications. To maintain sterility and ensure patient safety, each needle and suture strand must be disposed of appropriately after one use.
Is this product approved for clinical use?
Yes, this is a VA approved, high-quality medical supply. It is specifically designed for professional use in clinical and surgical environments where sterile, absorbable materials are indicated.
Does the suture provide high tensile strength?
Yes, the McKesson Chromic Gut suture is engineered to provide high-tensile-strength support. It balances the need for robust holding power with the benefits of predictable, absorbable material.
