Measurement: 5-0 Gauge, 18 inches C3 needle 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting, 13mm Fine gauge for delicate tissue approximation Plain Gut provides natural, rapid absorption suture Precision needle minimizes drag and pull-through The Look Plain Gut Sutures offer a premium, naturally absorbable, and fine-gauge solution for temporary soft tissue approximation, particularly in procedures demanding high precision. This specific product features a 5-0 gauge, a standard strand length of 18 inches, and is attached to a C3 needle, which is a 3/8 Circle Precision Reverse Cutting type measuring 13mm. The Look brand is committed to rigorous quality control, ensuring optimal suture integrity and consistent, reliable performance even in the most delicate surgical environments. If you are searching for the best Plain Gut Sutures, then their rapid, predictable absorption profile combined with the fine gauge and precision needle, which ensures minimal trauma to delicate tissues, is best for you. These sutures are ethically derived from purified collagen, primarily sourced from the submucosal fibrous layer of sheep (ovine) or the serosal layer of beef (bovine) intestines, providing a fully biological and biodegradable option that the body naturally processes and metabolizes. As a plain gut material, it remains untreated by chromium salts, resulting in its characteristic rapid absorption. This makes the fine 5-0 gauge an excellent choice for quick-healing, delicate tissues that require minimal short-term support, such as fine subcutaneous closures, ophthalmic surgery, paediatric procedures, and plastic or cosmetic surgery. The crucial Precision Reverse Cutting needle is a key feature, expertly engineered with a triangular cross-section and the cutting edge positioned on the outer curvature. The term 'Precision' highlights its sharper geometry, which is designed to pass through tissue with reduced drag, minimizing the risk of the suture material pulling through the delicate tissue and creating a precise, clean, and stable track. The 3/8 circle curvature and compact 13mm needle size are highly maneuverable, making them ideal for precise control in confined or easily accessible surgical fields where small, accurate needle throws are essential. This surgical product is provided in sterile, single-use packaging.
