Expires 11-30-2027

The Covidien G-1790K (Surgigut portfolio) is a professional-grade, sterile, natural absorbable surgical suture manufactured from purified connective tissue, consisting predominantly of collagen derived from the serosal layer of beef (bovine) intestines, and configured as an undyed monofilament-like strand measuring 18 inches (45 cm) in length with an ultra-fine size 6-0 gauge diameter. Chemically treated with a buffered chromium salt solution to delay dynamic tissue absorption, mitigate initial cellular digestion, and minimize localized inflammatory foreign body reactions, this organic strand undergoes electronic polishing to deliver an exceptionally smooth surface profile that optimizes knot run-down and micro-frictional tracking. Configured as a double-armed system, the continuous strand is pre-swaged on both ends to high-performance 11 mm HE-1 style reverse cutting needles featuring a 3/8 circle curvature profile and a razor-sharp triangular cutting geometry explicitly engineered to cleanly pierce tough epidermal, mucosal, or scleral margins with minimal insertion force, providing reliable short-term wound support that dissolves gradually via natural in vivo enzymatic degradation over a variable 14-to-28-day cycle, making it an exceptional selection for general soft tissue approximations, delicate ophthalmic surgeries, cuticular adaptations, and dental closures where long-term material presence is contraindicated.
