The Vitality™ 3-0 Chromic Gut Suture is a sterile, absorbable monofilament suture made from purified connective tissue (chromic gut). It’s designed for oral surgery, wisdom tooth extractions, implant procedures, and periodontal repair, providing secure wound closure with minimal tissue reaction.
This suture gradually dissolves in the body over 10–14 days, reducing the need for removal and minimizing the risk of retained foreign material.
✅ Strong Initial Tensile Strength – Holds tissue securely during the critical early healing phase

✅ Reduced Inflammation – Absorbable material supports natural healing with minimal irritation
✅ Precision Needle Control – Stainless steel reverse-cutting needle ensures clean, accurate passes
✅ Long Thread Length (27") – Ideal for longer procedures, reducing the need for suture changes
