Description

Suture 5/0 18" Fast Absorbing Gut 12/Bx is a premium medical suture designed for rapid tissue approximation and wound closure. This suture is crafted from a fast-absorbing gut, a natural material derived from the purified connective tissue of bovine intestines. The 5/0 size makes it suitable for delicate surgical procedures where minimal tissue reaction and quick healing are essential. The suture's 18-inch length provides sufficient material for precise and efficient suturing.

The fast-absorbing nature of this suture ensures that it is absorbed by the body within a short period, typically between 7 to 10 days. This rapid absorption is advantageous for procedures involving tissues that heal quickly, such as in oral, plastic, and dermatological surgeries. The natural composition of the suture promotes a favorable healing environment by minimizing inflammatory responses and reducing the risk of infection. This makes it an excellent choice for applications requiring temporary wound support.

Each suture in the box is pre-sterilized and packaged individually to maintain its sterility and integrity until use. The packaging is designed to ensure ease of handling and to preserve the suture's quality, reducing the risk of contamination during surgical procedures. 

The fine gauge of the 5/0 suture combined with its fast-absorbing properties offers an optimal balance between strength and flexibility. This allows for smooth passage through tissues with minimal trauma, enhancing patient comfort and postoperative outcomes.
