Ethicon Chromic Gut 5-0 Suture with P-3 Prime Reverse Cutting needle is a natural absorbable monofilament suture treated with chromic salts to extend tensile strength retention through the early phases of tissue healing. The compact P-3 Prime needle is precision-engineered for delicate plastic and soft tissue closure, providing controlled, accurate penetration in confined or sensitive surgical sites.

Key Features:

• Chromic Gut Composition: Natural collagen-based suture treated with chromic salt solution to delay enzymatic absorption, providing extended tensile strength retention compared to plain gut and supporting reliable wound support through the early healing phase.
• Absorbable Material: Fully absorbed by the body through enzymatic degradation, eliminating the need for suture removal and reducing post-operative patient visits in appropriate clinical indications.
• P-3 Prime Reverse Cutting Needle: A precision plastic surgery needle with the cutting edge positioned on the outer curvature, engineered for accurate, controlled tissue penetration in delicate soft tissue with minimal trauma and reduced risk of tear-through.
• 3/8 Circle, 13mm Needle: The compact 13mm needle in a 3/8 circle curvature provides exceptional maneuverability in confined or delicate surgical sites, supporting precise suture placement in plastic and soft tissue procedures.
• 5-0 Fine Gauge: Ultra-fine suture diameter minimizes tissue trauma during placement, making it well suited for delicate soft tissue and plastic surgery closure applications.
• Monofilament Construction: Single-strand design reduces tissue drag, minimizes bacterial wicking, and supports smooth passage through tissue for improved handling throughout the closure procedure.
• 18" Suture Length: Standard length accommodates a range of delicate closure techniques without excessive material waste across plastic and soft tissue procedures.
• Box of 12: Each box contains 12 individually packaged sterile suture sets, providing a ready-to-use supply for multiple procedures per order.
