Surgical Specialties LOOK 1248B 5-0 CHROMIC GUT 1X18" C3 UNDYED, BX/12

In Size 5-0 (1.0 metric), this suture provides a fine, flexible profile ideal for delicate mucosal closures and superficial skin repairs. The Chromic treatment involves a tanning process with chromic salts, which delays absorption and reduces tissue reactivity compared to plain gut.
