Ethicon 1635G CHROMIC GUT 6-0 Naturally BROWN 1X18" PS-3 16mm PS PRIME BX/12

The Ethicon 1635G is a premium, natural absorbable suture crafted from purified collagen (bovine serosa). In Size 6-0 (0.7 metric), this suture provides a micro-fine profile specifically engineered for the most delicate soft tissue approximations where minimal scarring and rapid absorption are essential.

Additional product details

• The Chromic treatment involves a specialized tanning process with chromium salts, which effectively delays enzymatic degradation compared to plain gut.

• Quantity: Box of 12 Sterile Units
• PS-3 MultiPass® Needle Excellence: The 16mm PS-3 (Plastic Surgery-3) needle is forged from ETHALLOY®, a proprietary stainless steel alloy that resists bending and breaking.
• PS PRIME Reverse Cutting Geometry: The precision-honed cutting edge is located on the outer curvature of the needle. This directs cutting forces away from the wound margin, preventing "cheese-wiring" and promoting superior wound edge eversion and cosmetic outcomes.
• Extended Wound Support: Due to the chromic salt treatment, the 1635G typically maintains critical wound support for 10 to 14 days. This profile is ideally suited for eyelid surgery, facial lacerations, and pediatric reconstructive procedures where long-term foreign body load is undesirable.
• Natural Enzymatic Digestion: As a protein-based material, it is absorbed through proteolysis (enzymatic digestion). Complete mass absorption typically occurs within 60 to 90 days, eliminating the need for a secondary follow-up for suture removal and streamlining post-operative care.
