Product Overview
The Covidien CG-922 Absorbable Suture with Needle is a high-quality surgical suture designed for secure wound closure. Made from chromic gut, this suture is naturally absorbable, providing reliable tensile strength during the critical healing phase before being broken down by the body’s enzymes. The suture is paired with a GS-21 1/2 Circle Taper Point Needle, ensuring precise and smooth tissue penetration with minimal trauma.
Features:
- Absorbable Material: Chromic gut suture is treated for enhanced strength and delayed absorption.
- Taper Point Needle: Designed for atraumatic tissue passage, reducing tissue damage.
- 1/2 Circle Needle Configuration: Provides optimal control and maneuverability during suturing.
- Size 3-0: Suitable for a variety of soft tissue approximation needs.
Specifications:
- Suture Material: Chromic Gut
- Needle Type: GS-21 (1/2 Circle, Taper Point)
- Needle Length: 21 mm
- Suture Size: 3-0
- Absorption Rate: Typically absorbed within 90 days, depending on tissue conditions.
Use Suggestion:
This suture is ideal for general soft tissue closure, including subcutaneous layers and ligation in surgeries where extended wound support is not required. Due to its absorbable nature, it eliminates the need for suture removal, making it a convenient choice for internal suturing. Always follow standard surgical protocols for optimal results.
