Chromic sutures size 2/0

 Composition:

• **Material**: Chromic gut sutures are made from purified collagen fibers.
• **Treatment**: The sutures are treated with chromium salts (chromic acid) to enhance their tensile strength and to slow down the absorption process.
• **Sizes**: Available in various sizes, typically ranging from 1 (largest) to 6-0 (smallest), depending on the surgical requirement.

### Indications:

Chromic sutures are indicated for use in various surgical procedures, including but not limited to:

• **General Surgery**: For closing skin, subcutaneous tissue, and fascia.
• **Gynecological Surgery**: For suturing uterine tissue and other soft tissues.
• **Orthopedic Surgery**: For tendon repair and other soft tissue closures.
• **Gastrointestinal Surgery**: For anastomosis and closure of the bowel.
• **Urological Surgery**: For bladder and urethral repairs.
• **Pediatric Surgery**: For closure of incisions in infants and children.

### Advantages:

• **Absorbable**: Eliminates the need for suture removal.
• **Tensile Strength**: Provides adequate strength during the healing process.
• **Biocompatibility**: Generally well-tolerated by the body.

### Considerations:

• **Absorption Time**: Chromic sutures typically lose their tensile strength within 10-14 days and are absorbed by the body within 90 days.
• **Allergic Reactions**: Rare, but possible in individuals sensitive to collagen or chromium.

Always consult with a healthcare professional for specific recommendations and guidelines regarding the use of chromic sutures in surgical procedures.
