Description

Chromic Gut Absorbable Suture, Taper Point, Size 5/0, 27", Rb-1 Needle is a natural absorbable suture made from purified collagen derived from the serosal layer of bovine intestine. It undergoes treatment with chromic salts to prolong its absorption rate and enhance tensile strength retention.

Each strand is polished to a uniform diameter, promoting consistent handling and secure knot tying. The monofilament structure ensures smooth tissue passage with minimal drag and trauma. Its biological origin provides excellent tissue compatibility and reduced inflammatory response, especially in mucosal or rapidly healing tissues.

The RB-1 needle is a 3/8 circle taper point needle measuring 17 mm, designed for atraumatic passage through soft, delicate tissue layers. It is especially suited for subcutaneous, peritoneal, or mucosal closures where precise needle control and minimal tissue damage are essential. The suture's natural origin and absorption profile make it ideal for short- to mid-term wound support.
