Aqmen - AM4217 - Sutures AM4217 AqGut Catgut Type USP 0-12 Foils

The Aqmen AM4217 is an absorbable surgical suture designed for wound closure. This specific product features a chromic catgut suture material, which is derived from purified serosal collagen of bovine or ovine origin and treated to resist absorption for a longer period. The suture is presented in a USP size 0 gauge, offering a diameter suitable for a range of surgical applications.

Each foil contains 76 centimeters of suture material, providing ample length for various closure techniques. The suture is pre-attached to a 30 millimeter, 3/8 circle round body needle, a common configuration for ease of manipulation and tissue penetration in many surgical procedures. The packaging includes 12 individual foils per box, facilitating efficient inventory management and dispensing in clinical settings.

The chromic treatment of the catgut material ensures a predictable absorption profile, with the suture providing wound support for approximately 21 days as it is gradually broken down by enzymatic processes within the body. This absorbable nature eliminates the need for suture removal, which can be advantageous in certain patient populations or wound locations.
