The Vitality™ 4-0 Chromic Gut Suture is a sterile, absorbable suture designed for soft tissue closure in oral surgery. It features a 13mm, 3/8 reverse cutting needle made from surgical-grade stainless steel and is comparable to G-3, P-3, and P-13 needle configurations. This suture is ideal for dental implant placement, wisdom tooth extractions, and bone graft procedures where precision and minimal tissue trauma are essential.
With a 27-inch (70 cm) chromic gut thread, this suture offers high tensile strength and reliable absorption over 10–14 days—making it suitable for procedures requiring temporary wound support without the need for removal.
