Ethicon Chromic Gut Suture is a natural absorbable monofilament suture treated with chromic salts to extend the absorption timeline and maintain tensile strength through the critical early phases of tissue healing. Paired with an FS-2 reverse cutting needle in a 3/8 circle, 19mm configuration, it is well suited for oral surgical, periodontal, and soft tissue closure procedures requiring reliable short-term wound support.

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 tissue healing through the early wound closure 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.
• FS-2 Reverse Cutting Needle: The reverse cutting tip places the cutting edge on the outer curvature of the needle, reducing the risk of tissue tear-through and providing controlled, clean penetration in soft tissue.
• 3/8 Circle, 19mm Needle: The compact curvature and needle length support accurate suture placement in confined intraoral and surgical sites where maneuverability is limited.
• 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 3-0, 4-0, and 5-0 to accommodate a range of tissue types, wound configurations, and closure techniques across oral surgical and soft tissue procedures.
• 27" Suture Length: Ample length accommodates a broad range of wound closure techniques and tissue configurations without requiring mid-procedure suture changes.
