McKesson - S636GX - Absorbable Suture with Needle Chromic Gut C-13 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting Needle Size 3-0

The McKesson S636GX is a high-quality absorbable surgical suture made from chromic gut, designed for secure wound closure in general and ophthalmic surgeries. The suture features a C-13 3/8 circle reverse cutting needle, providing precision and ease of use. Chromic gut is treated to enhance strength and delay absorption, making it ideal for tissues requiring extended support during healing.

Features:
- Absorbable Material: Chromic gut sutures are naturally absorbed by the body, eliminating the need for removal.
- Enhanced Strength: Treated for increased tensile strength and delayed absorption compared to plain gut.
- Precision Needle: Reverse cutting C-13 3/8 circle needle ensures smooth tissue penetration and reduced trauma.
- Sterile & Reliable: Individually packaged and sterilized for safe, single-use application.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for soft tissue approximation in general, ophthalmic, and minor surgical procedures.

Specifications:
- Suture Material: Chromic Gut
- Needle Type: C-13 3/8 Circle Reverse Cutting
- Suture Size: 3-0 (USP)
- Length: Standard suture length (varies by packaging)
- Absorption Rate: Typically absorbed within 60-90 days, depending on tissue conditions.

Suggested Use:
This suture is recommended for closing subcutaneous tissues, ligating small vessels, and ophthalmic procedures where moderate wound support is needed. Its delayed absorption makes it suitable for areas requiring slightly longer healing times. Always follow aseptic techniques and consult surgical guidelines for proper application.

Note: For optimal performance, store in a cool, dry place and inspect packaging integrity before use.
