Description

Surgical Gut Suture, FS-1, Size 3/0, 27" is a sterile, absorbable suture derived from purified collagen taken from the serosal layer of bovine or ovine intestines. The material provides temporary wound support and is suitable for internal tissue approximation where long-term tensile strength is not required. 

This suture is designed with a FS-1 needle, a reverse cutting type commonly used in general soft tissue approximation and closure, including skin and mucosal tissues. The reverse cutting profile ensures clean, precise penetration through dense or thick tissue, minimizing trauma during placement. 

The 27-inch length of the suture offers sufficient range for a variety of procedures without compromising knot security or suture management. Being size 3/0, it provides moderate tensile strength suitable for medium-tension applications. The suture’s smooth surface enhances knot tie-down and handling, improving the user experience in operative settings.
