The Medtronic Chromic Gut Absorbable Suture with Blunt Point – Protect Point is designed for safe, effective closure of soft tissue during internal surgical procedures. This absorbable suture is treated with chromic salts to extend tensile strength and absorption time, while the blunt point needle helps reduce the risk of accidental needlestick injuries and tissue trauma.

Overview

Made from purified collagen derived from bovine intestines, this chromic gut suture provides predictable absorption over approximately 90 days. The BP-27 blunt needle with a ½ circle curvature is ideal for soft, friable tissues, especially in general, OB/GYN, and urologic surgeries. Packaged in 30" lengths, these sutures support secure knot tying and efficient handling in demanding surgical settings.
