Description

Overview: Experience optimal wound closure with MacSuture 3/0 Plain Gut Absorbable Suture by SurgiMac. This 18-inch plain gut suture, featuring a C-31 reverse-cutting needle, ensures precise tissue approximation and supports efficient healing for superior postoperative outcomes.

Key Features:

  1. Size: 3/0
  2. Length: 18 inches
  3. Material: Plain Gut (Absorbable)
  4. Needle Type: C-31 Reverse-Cutting
  5. Enhanced tensile strength for secure closures
  6. Smooth tissue passage for ease of use
  7. Minimized tissue irritation for enhanced patient comfort

Suture Material: Crafted from purified connective tissue, predominantly collagen, sourced from the serosal layer of beef intestines, SurgiMac's Plain Gut Suture meets stringent standards outlined by the United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.). Ideal for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic procedures, this absorbable suture offers reliable performance and efficient wound closure.

Characteristics: With rapid absorption properties, SurgiMac's Plain Gut Suture promotes efficient healing while minimizing tissue reaction. Its composition, enriched with high-quality collagen, ensures superior tensile strength, prolonged absorption duration, and reduced in vivo reactions. Retaining tensile strength for approximately 10 days and achieving complete absorption within 70 days, this suture provides consistent performance and optimal healing support.

Precautions: Proper storage practices, including discarding open unused sutures and avoiding prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures, are essential. Surgeons should handle the suture with care to prevent damage and ensure adequate knot security using accepted surgical techniques. Additionally, consideration of patient hypersensitivity reactions and potential adverse effects associated with extended contact with salt solutions is crucial. Surgeons must take appropriate precautions to minimize the risk of wound dehiscence and infection, particularly in patients with underlying health conditions.

Choose MacSuture 3/0 Plain Gut Absorbable Suture by SurgiMac for superior wound closure, efficient healing, and patient satisfaction. Trust SurgiMac for innovative solutions that prioritize surgical success and patient well-being.

    What is chromic catgut suture used for?

    Chromic catgut sutures are primarily used in surgeries requiring soft tissue approximation and ligation, such as in general surgery, gynecology, and dental procedures. The chromium treatment allows for delayed absorption, making chromic sutures suitable for wounds that need prolonged support. However, if you're looking for a suture that offers quicker absorption and natural materials, the MacSuture 3-0, 18 inch Absorbable Plain Catgut Suture provides excellent tissue approximation without the need for extended support. With MacSuture, you can trust the quality and performance for various surgical applications, delivering the right balance of strength and rapid healing.

    What is the difference between Vicryl and chromic suture?

    Vicryl is a synthetic, absorbable suture made from polyglactin 910, known for its controlled and predictable absorption time. In contrast, chromic catgut is a natural suture treated with chromium salts to delay its absorption, providing moderate tensile strength. While chromic sutures are often used for longer-term tissue support, the MacSuture 3-0, 18 inch Absorbable Plain Catgut Suture is a more natural alternative for surgeries that require quicker healing. MacSuture's plain catgut sutures absorb faster and are ideal for procedures where the natural absorbability of sutures is essential, offering versatility and precision in wound closure.

    How long is catgut suture absorbable?

    Plain catgut sutures, such as the MacSuture 3-0, 18 inch Absorbable Plain Catgut Suture, typically absorb within 7 to 10 days, depending on the tissue environment and patient physiology. Chromic catgut, treated with chromium salts, extends the absorption time to around 10 to 21 days. The plain catgut sutures are designed for surgeries where quick tissue healing is expected, and suture removal is not needed. With MacSuture, you are assured of high-quality absorbable sutures that provide excellent wound support while promoting natural healing in a shorter period.

    What is the difference between chromic and plain catgut sutures?

    The main difference between chromic and plain catgut sutures lies in their absorption time and treatment process. Chromic catgut sutures are treated with chromium salts, which slow down absorption and reduce tissue reaction, making them suitable for surgeries that require prolonged wound support. Plain catgut sutures, like the MacSuture 3-0, 18 inch Absorbable Plain Catgut Suture, absorb faster and are ideal for procedures requiring quicker tissue closure and healing. MacSuture ensures that both options meet the highest standards, providing dependable sutures for various surgical needs while promoting natural wound healing.

    Which is the most important characteristic of chromic catgut sutures?

    The key characteristic of chromic catgut sutures is their ability to provide extended support while being naturally absorbable. The chromium treatment delays the absorption process, ensuring that tissues have ample time to heal before the suture dissolves. However, for procedures where quicker absorption is required, the MacSuture 3-0, 18 inch Absorbable Plain Catgut Suture offers the perfect balance of tensile strength and fast absorbability. MacSuture products are known for their consistent quality, providing surgeons with a trusted solution for reliable, absorbable sutures in various surgical applications.
