Extended-Support Absorbable Closure for Surgical Extractions and Flaps

Bioviva Chromic Gut is a natural absorbable suture treated with chromium salts to extend wound support beyond what plain gut provides — roughly two to three weeks of tensile retention rather than one. That extra window is what oral surgery, periodontal flaps, and grafted sites usually need.

Every strand is armed with an AISI 300 series stainless steel needle for consistent sharpness and penetration through attached gingiva and mucosa. Nine needle and size configurations are available in this listing, all supplied 12 per box.

Key Features and Benefits

• Extended absorption profile: Chromic treatment slows enzymatic breakdown, giving longer wound support than plain gut.
• AISI 300 stainless steel needles: Chosen for needle integrity, sharpness, and smooth insertion.
• Nine configurations: Taper point and reverse cutting, 3-0 through 5-0, 18" and 27" lengths, needles from 13mm to 26mm.
• Reliable knot security: Natural collagen construction holds knots without excessive throws.
• No removal appointment: Absorbable, so no suture-removal visit is required.
• Sterile, individually packaged: 12 per box, each strand separately sealed.

Clinical Applications

• Surgical and complex extractions
• Periodontal flap closure
• Implant placement and second-stage surgery
• Socket preservation and guided bone regeneration
• Soft-tissue grafting and frenectomy
• Pediatric cases where suture removal would require a second visit

Why Choose Bioviva Chromic Gut

Chromic gut sits in the same clinical role as premium branded catgut, and the differences that matter chairside are needle quality and knot behavior rather than the thread itself. Bioviva specifies AISI 300 stainless steel needles for exactly that reason, at a price point well under the branded alternatives most practices default to.

Nine configurations in one listing also means you can standardize your closure inventory around a single supplier rather than assembling it from three.

What's Included

• 12 individually packaged sterile chromic gut sutures per box
• Each strand pre-armed with a stainless steel needle in the configuration selected

Warranty and Support
