Suture Material: SurgiMac's Chromic Gut Suture is meticulously crafted from purified connective tissue, primarily collagen, sourced from beef intestines' serosal layer. Meeting stringent United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) standards for absorbable surgical sutures, it incorporates a chromic salt solution to effectively delay absorption, enhancing its utility across various surgical procedures.
Characteristics: Renowned for superior performance and reliability, SurgiMac's Chromic Gut Suture offers extended absorption kinetics, lasting over 90 days due to its chromium salt treatment. With a collagen content of 97%-98%, it boasts exceptional tensile strength, prolonged absorption, and minimal tissue reactivity. Its smooth tissue passage and precise knot tying capabilities make it ideal for surgeons seeking efficiency and accuracy.
Indications: MacSuture 5/0 is indicated for general soft tissue approximation, ligation, and ophthalmic procedures. Adherence to recommended storage practices, avoidance of resterilization, and prevention of prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures are essential. Surgeons should exercise caution, particularly in patients with conditions that may impair wound healing.
Precautions: Surgeons must handle the suture delicately to prevent damage, ensuring optimal knot security and adherence to proper suturing techniques. Patients with known hypersensitivity to collagen or chromium may experience adverse reactions, necessitating thorough preoperative assessment. Prolonged exposure to salt solutions may lead to calculus formation, emphasizing the need for vigilant postoperative care.
Select MacSuture 5/0 by SurgiMac for unparalleled precision, reliability, and innovation in surgical suturing. Trust SurgiMac to deliver cutting-edge solutions that prioritize surgical success and patient well-being.
