Vitality™ 4-0 Chromic Gut Suture with 13 mm Needle
The Vitality™ 4-0 Chromic Gut Suture is a sterile, absorbable
suture designed for soft tissue closure in oral surgery.
It features a 13 mm, 3/8-circle reverse cutting needle made
from surgical-grade stainless steel.
With a 27-inch chromic gut thread, this configuration provides
an absorbable option for dental implant procedures, wisdom tooth
extractions, bone graft site closure, and general oral soft
tissue suturing.
For clinicians comparing
4-0 dental chromic gut sutures, this option
combines a finer thread size with a compact 13 mm needle.
Each box contains 12 sterile sutures.
Best suited for more precise soft-tissue closure where a smaller
needle is preferred. For broader oral surgery applications,
consider the
19 mm version
.

with a 13 mm, 3/8-circle reverse cutting needle.

separate specifications that clinicians can match to the
planned oral soft tissue closure.

4-0: the suture thread size.

3/8 circle: the needle curvature.

Reverse cutting: the needle’s cutting profile.
-
27 inches: the supplied thread length.
13 mm vs. 19 mm: Which Needle Configuration Should I Choose?
Choose according to surgical access, tissue characteristics,
and the planned needle path.
Both configurations use 4-0 chromic gut, but the needle lengths differ.
| Configuration |
Selection Consideration |
| 4-0 Chromic Gut · 13 mm |
A shorter needle when compact access is preferred. |
|
4-0 Chromic Gut · 19 mm
|
A longer needle option for a different tissue path
and access requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions About 4-0 Chromic Gut Sutures
What is the Vitality™ 4-0 Chromic Gut Suture with a 13 mm needle?
It is a sterile, absorbable dental suture with a brown 27-inch
chromic gut thread and a 13 mm, 3/8-circle reverse cutting needle.
Each box contains 12 sutures.
Are Vitality 4-0 dental chromic gut sutures in stock and ready to ship?
Check the live purchase section for current availability of
this 13 mm configuration. Contact Vitality before ordering
if your practice requires a confirmed dispatch date or
a specific delivery deadline.
How does 4-0 chromic gut compare with 3-0 chromic gut?
A 4-0 thread is finer than a 3-0 thread. Select the thread size
and needle configuration according to the tissue and closure
requirements, rather than thread size alone.
Is wound-support duration the same as complete absorption time?
No. A suture can lose useful tensile strength before the material
is completely absorbed. Review the product’s strength-retention
information separately from its complete absorption profile.
How many sutures are included in one box?
Each box contains 12 sutures in the listed 4-0 chromic gut,
27-inch thread, and 13 mm reverse cutting needle configuration.
How should practices compare dental suture prices?
Match the material, thread size, strand length, and needle
configuration before comparing prices. Divide the box price
by 12 to calculate the product cost per suture for this configuration.
How can multi-location practices request bulk dental suture pricing?
Contact Vitality with the required configuration, box quantity,
order frequency, and delivery locations to ask about available
purchasing options.
Where can I compare 3-0 and 4-0 chromic gut options?
Browse the
Vitality suture collection
to compare thread sizes, needle configurations, box quantities,
and displayed purchase options.
