REDIGUT® CHROMIC PRO STERILIZED SURGICAL NEEDLED SUTURE (CATGUT CHROMIC) 4-0 (2 metric) 30" (75 cm) 19 mm 3/8 Circle REVERSE CUTTING YFS-2

Product Description

As a resorbable option, REDIGUT^® PRO Sutures are available in both polyglycolic acid (PGA) and chromic for a reliable outcome. The sutures are broken down naturally over time, leaving no foreign body left behind. Containing 12 sutures in each box, REDIGUT PRO Sutures come packaged in a special gravity-fed dispenser that provides easy access to suture packets from an opening at the bottom of the box. Its pure foil pouch and medical-grade paper add another layer of protection that secures the integrity of the suture. Included in the REDIGUT PRO packaging is a 3/8 reverse-cutting needle that is specifically created for tough, difficult-to-penetrate tissue. There are several advantages of using a reverse-cutting needle:

• They exhibit more strength than similar-sized conventional cutting needles
• The danger of tissue cutout is greatly reduced
• The hole left by the needle provides ample space for tying the suture
