Chromic Sutures

$1.00
Chromic Sutures are absorbable, monofilament surgical sutures derived from natural collagen and treated with chromic salts to delay absorption. Used for internal tissue approximation in gynecologic, urologic, gastrointestinal, and subcutaneous procedures, they provide temporary wound support during critical healing while being completely absorbed over time without requiring removal. Chromic treatment extends absorption compared to plain catgut, providing 10-14 days of tensile strength retention. Essential for procedures where suture removal would be impractical or where temporary wound support is required.

Nylon Sutures

$1.00
Nylon Sutures are non-absorbable, monofilament synthetic sutures used primarily for skin closure, ophthalmic surgery, plastic surgery, and cardiovascular procedures. The monofilament structure provides low tissue reactivity and smooth passage through tissue, while high tensile strength ensures reliable wound support throughout healing. Available in sizes ranging from fine microsutures to larger gauges, nylon sutures are typically removed after healing is complete. Proper knot technique with multiple throws is essential for knot security. Essential for procedures where cosmetic outcome and minimal tissue reaction are critical.
