• While absorption rates vary by tissue vascularity, Size 1 Chromic Gut typically maintains critical wound support for 14–21 days.
• Surgeons can place a stitch and immediately detach the needle without a secondary instrument, which is particularly beneficial in deep pelvic or abdominal surgeries where space is limited.
• Atraumatic MO-5 Taper Needle: The 31mm MO-5 (Mayo-5) is a robust, mid-sized needle designed to pierce and spread tissue fibers rather than cutting them. This preserves the structural integrity of the tissue—critical for heavy fascia or muscle repair.
• This allows the heavy Size 1 strand to "snug down" into a flat, secure knot that resists slippage even under significant physiological tension.
• High-Volume 8-Strand Packaging: Each sterile packet contains eight separate 18-inch sutures, providing an ample supply for large closures (like a midline laparotomy) while reducing the cumulative waste and time associated with opening individual units.
