When performing oral surgeries such as implant placements, extractions, or bone grafting, suture selection directly impacts healing outcomes and clinical efficiency. Among the many absorbable options available, chromic gut sutures stand out for their natural origin, predictable absorption, and strength in oral tissue applications.
Strength and Absorbability Tailored for Oral Tissue
Vitality™ Chromic Gut Sutures are crafted from purified collagen derived from the serosa of bovine intestines and treated with chromic salts. This treatment slows enzymatic absorption and increases the tensile strength of the suture, offering approximately 21 days of wound support. The result is a dependable absorbable suture that doesn’t require removal—ideal for sensitive intraoral environments.
Reverse Cutting Needle Design for Clean Passes
Each Vitality™ Chromic Gut Suture comes pre-attached to a 3/8 reverse cutting needle, engineered for smooth penetration and reduced tissue trauma. Features include:
-
Enhanced control in tight or angled areas
-
Strong needle-to-thread bond to prevent slippage
-
Silicone-coated tips for low-resistance entry
-
Reliable performance in mucosal and fibrous tissues
