Product Overview
The Medtronic MITG - CG885 - Suture, Surgigut 1 30 GS-22 is a high-quality absorbable surgical suture designed for secure wound closure in various surgical procedures. Made from surgical gut (Surgigut), this suture provides excellent tensile strength and is naturally absorbed by the body over time, eliminating the need for removal.
Features:
- Absorbable Material: Surgigut sutures are absorbed by enzymatic digestion, making them ideal for internal soft tissue approximation.
- Reliable Tensile Strength: Ensures secure wound closure during the critical healing phase.
- GS-22 Needle: A sharp, precision-engineered needle for smooth tissue penetration.
- Size 1-0 (USP): Suitable for a variety of surgical applications requiring moderate strength.
- Sterile & Single-Use: Pre-sterilized for immediate use, reducing infection risks.
Specifications:
- Material: Surgigut (Purified collagen derived from healthy sheep or cattle intestines)
- Suture Size: 1-0 (USP)
- Needle Type: GS-22 (Shape and size optimized for general soft tissue suturing)
- Length: 30 inches (75 cm)
- Absorption Rate: Typically absorbed within 70 days, depending on tissue conditions.
Use Suggestion:
This suture is commonly used in general soft tissue closure, including subcutaneous and mucosal layers, where absorbable sutures are preferred. It is well-suited for obstetric, gynecological, and gastrointestinal surgeries. Ensure proper surgical technique to minimize tissue reaction and optimize wound healing.
For best results, follow standard suturing practices and consider patient-specific healing conditions when selecting this suture.
