Medtronic CG983 Chromic Gut Suture Size 2-0, 3 dz/bx

The Medtronic CG983 Chromic Gut Suture is an absorbable, sterile surgical suture made from purified connective tissue (mostly collagen) derived from healthy bovine intestines. It is treated with chromic salts to delay absorption, providing extended wound support. Ideal for internal soft tissue approximation where absorbable sutures are preferred, it offers predictable handling and absorption characteristics.

Overview
