Chromic Gut Absorbable Suture | Ethicon

Description

The Ethicon Chromic Gut Suture is an essential, sterile, absorbable surgical suture designed for applications requiring extended wound support. Composed primarily of purified collagen derived from the serosal layer of beef (bovine) or the submucosal fibrous layer of sheep (ovine) intestines, it offers reliable natural performance.

The material undergoes chromic processing to provide significantly greater resistance to absorption compared to plain gut, extending its retention profile. Each unit is paired with an SH Needle and measures 27 inches (70 cm) in length. Packaged in tubing fluid, this suture meets all rigorous requirements established by the U.S. Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) for absorbable surgical sutures, guaranteeing professional quality.
