Ethicon Chromic Gut Suture with CT-1 Taperpoint needle is a natural absorbable monofilament suture treated with chromic salts to extend tensile strength retention through the critical early phases of tissue healing. The CT-1 taperpoint needle provides smooth, controlled tissue penetration for general surgical closure, fascial approximation, and deep tissue applications where a round-bodied needle profile is required.

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.
• CT-1 Taperpoint Needle: The round-bodied taperpoint profile is designed for smooth passage through soft tissue and fascia, separating tissue fibers rather than cutting them to minimize trauma and reduce the risk of tissue tearing.
• 1/2 Circle, 36mm Needle: The large 36mm needle in a 1/2 circle curvature provides the reach and maneuverability required for deep tissue closure and general surgical applications in broader operative fields.
• Monofilament Construction: Single-strand design reduces tissue drag, minimizes bacterial wicking, and supports smooth passage through tissue for improved handling throughout the closure procedure.
• Multiple Size Options: Available in sizes 1 and 2-0 to accommodate varying tissue thickness, wound tension requirements, and general closure techniques across surgical applications.
• 27" Suture Length: Ample length accommodates a broad range of wound closure techniques and tissue configurations without requiring mid-procedure suture changes.
