Ethicon CC40G 1 Gut Chromic Naturally Brown 8x18" CT-1 CR Box of 12

Ethicon Chromic Gut Sutures | Size 1 | 18" Length | CT-1 Needle | CC40G

The Ethicon CC40G is a specialized absorbable suture composed of high-quality chromic gut. Derived from the sub-mucosal fibrous layer of bovine intestine, this naturally brown material is treated with chromic salt to delay absorption and minimize tissue reactivity. As a Size 1 suture, it offers high tensile strength suitable for heavy-duty tissue approximation.

This specific configuration features the Control Release™ (CR) needle system, designed to allow the needle to be "popped off" the strand with a quick, deliberate pull. This eliminates the need for surgical scissors during multi-point ligations, significantly streamlining the workflow in fast-paced surgical simulations or anatomical research.

Technical & Research Advantages

• Predictable Absorption Profile: Chromic gut provides extended wound support compared to plain gut. In research applications, this allows for the study of long-term tissue healing and material degradation.

• Control Release™ Efficiency: The "pop-off" needle interface is highly valued in educational settings for teaching interrupted suturing techniques, as it reduces instrument handling and increases procedural speed.

• CT-1 Taper Point Needle: The 36 mm 1/2 circle needle is designed to pierce tissue rather than cut it. This makes it ideal for soft tissue approximation where minimal trauma to the surrounding fibers is required.

• Superior Knot Security: The natural surface of chromic gut provides excellent "friction-lock" characteristics, ensuring that knots remain secure even in high-tension or fluid-heavy environments.

• High Tensile Strength: Size 1 is a robust gauge, making these sutures excellent for teaching fascia closure or deep muscle ligations in veterinary or research models.

Applications (Non-Clinical)

• Surgical Education: Practicing advanced knot-tying and "pop-off" needle handling in medical simulation labs.

• Veterinary Research: Use in non-clinical anatomical studies and veterinary surgical training.

• Product Testing: Benchtop testing of surgical devices, staplers, or robotic suturing arms.

• Materials Science: Studying the mechanical properties and enzymatic breakdown of natural collagen fibers.
