The ETHICON Surgical Gut Chromic Suture with SABRELOC Spatula, Size 5-0 is a premium, absorbable suture designed to provide reliable, temporary wound support in soft tissue approximation. Made from chromic-treated surgical gut, this suture offers extended tensile strength compared to plain gut sutures, making it suitable for procedures where longer support is needed. It is equipped with the SABRELOC spatula needle (S-14), designed for precision and optimal control during delicate surgical procedures.
Key Features
| Suture Size: | 5-0, ideal for fine suturing in delicate tissues. |
|---|---|
| Suture Length: | 12 inches (30 cm), providing adequate length. |
| Material: | Made from chromic-treated surgical gut. |
| Absorbable: | The suture is fully absorbable within the body through enzymatic degradation, eliminating the need for removal and promoting patient comfort. |
| Needle: | SABRELOC spatula needle (S-14) |
| Sterile Packaging: | Each suture is individually packaged in sterile conditions to ensure patient safety and minimize the risk of contamination in the operating room. |
Benefits
| Extended Absorption Period: | Chromic-treated surgical gut provides longer tensile strength (up to 10-14 days) compared to plain gut sutures. This extended absorption period makes it suitable for procedures requiring longer wound support. |
|---|---|
| Absorbable Convenience: | The absorbable nature of the suture eliminates the need for suture removal, which is especially beneficial in areas where post-operative access is difficult or where minimizing follow-up care is desired. |
| SABRELOC Needle for Precision: | The SABRELOC spatula needle (S-14) is designed for precise tissue penetration and control, making it an excellent choice for ophthalmic and other microsurgical procedures. |
| Minimal Tissue Reaction: | Chromic gut sutures cause a minimal inflammatory response in tissue that ensures a smooth healing process. |
| Secure Knotting: | It provides strong knot-holding capabilities, reducing the likelihood of knot slippage during wound closure. |
Indications
The ETHICON Surgical Gut Chromic Suture, Size 5-0, with SABRELOC Spatula (S-14) is recommended for use in:
| Ophthalmic Surgery: | Its fine size, precision needle, and extended absorption make it particularly useful for eye surgeries. |
|---|---|
| Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: | Ideal for delicate suturing in areas requiring fine, minimal scarring. |
| General Soft Tissue Approximation: | Used in procedures requiring temporary wound support with absorbable material. |
Absorption Profile
This suture is gradually absorbed through enzymatic action. The chromic treatment delays absorption, allowing the suture to retain tensile strength for up to 10-14 days, with complete absorption typically occurring within 90 days. The absorption rate may vary depending on tissue type and the surgical environment.
Packaging
Each Suture comes in a sterile, single-use package. The sutures are available in multiple-unit boxes, ideal for surgical teams requiring easy access to sterile sutures during a procedure.
Ideal For
- Surgeons seeking a reliable, absorbable suture for soft tissue approximation.
- Procedures where post-operative suture removal is undesirable or challenging.
- Ophthalmic, plastic, and reconstructive surgeries, where fine precision and control are critical.
