{"product_id":"sterile-sponge-cubes-10x10mm-copy","title":"Chromic Gut Sutures 12pcs pack","description":"\u003cp\u003eDSI Chromic Catgut is an absorbable suture made from pure collagen sourced from the submucosal layer of animal intestines, primarily sheep and goats. To enhance its durability and improve healing upon absorption, it undergoes a process where a coating containing chromic salts is applied. This coating makes it more resistant to tissue enzymes, increasing its longevity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe unique manufacturing process involves winding together strands of purified collagen intestines, ensuring they are free from diseases such as BSE and aphthous fever. These strands are uniformly coated with chromic salts. To achieve a near-monofilament texture, the natural thread is precisely ground and treated with a solution containing glycerol.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDSI Chromic Catgut is known for its high tensile strength during tie-down, providing firm knots and excellent handling. It is absorbed by the body through phagocytosis, making it ideal for joining tissues that require rapid regeneration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure of gingival flaps - procedures such as gingivectomy, gingivoplasty, or periodontal pocket reduction\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket preservation after tooth extraction\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure of oral mucosal incisions\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft tissue surgeries\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOphthalmic surgeries\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic and reconstructive surgeries\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrthopedic surgeries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbsorbability - Chromic gut sutures are absorbable, they are broken down and metabolized by the body over time, eliminating the need for suture removal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiodegradability - Derived from natural sources, chromic gut sutures are biodegradable, reducing the risk of foreign body reactions and promoting natural tissue healing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimplified post-operative care - A predictable absorption profile simplifies post-operative care planning and reduces the need for frequent follow-up visits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTensile Strength - Exhibits adequate initial tensile strength to hold wound edges together during the early stages of healing, providing secure wound closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnot security - Offers excellent knot security when tied properly, ensuring reliable wound closure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinimal tissue reaction - Generally elicits minimal tissue reaction, reducing the risk of inflammation or adverse tissue responses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmooth surface - reduces tissue trauma during suturing and minimizes the risk of tissue irritation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVersatility - Chromic Gut sutures can be used in a wide range of surgical procedures across different specialties due to their versatility and compatibility with various tissue types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSterilize packaging - Each suture is individually packaged and sterilized to ensure compliance with medical standards and reduce the risk of surgical site infections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew needle - Equipped with a new improved atraumatic needle for less friction and tissue irritation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharacteristics: monofilament, natural, absorbable, sterile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemical structure: purified connective tissue derived from sheep and goats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoating: chromic salts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Tan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWound support: approximately 14-21 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete resorption: 60-90 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTensile strength: between 14-21 days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTissue reaction: Minimal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapillarity: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape memory: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnot security: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmoothness: Smooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSawing effect: Limited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeedle type: Needle type: 19mm reverse cut 3\/8 circle atraumatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe package includes 12 x 75cm sutures in each pack, with a 19 mm atraumatic needle 3\/8 circle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSizes for selection: 2\/0, 3\/0, 4\/0, 5\/0 USP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"Dental Suture Types - which one to choose?\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8n2FGXf_mR4\" height=\"317\" width=\"564\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Starcona Dental Supply","offers":[{"title":"3\/0 USP","offer_id":53542680101143,"sku":"DSI-DS-CHG30","price":50.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4\/0 USP","offer_id":53542680133911,"sku":"DSI-DS-CHG40","price":50.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5\/0 USP","offer_id":53542680166679,"sku":"DSI-DS-CHG50","price":50.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/6971\/5479\/files\/ChromicGutSutures12pcspack.webp?v=1781618098","url":"https:\/\/starcona.com\/products\/sterile-sponge-cubes-10x10mm-copy","provider":"Starcona Dental Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
