Hu-Friedy Chromic Gut Sutures | Perma Sharp | Absorbable Dental Sutures

Chromic Gut Perma Sharp™ sutures deliver the trusted handling of natural gut with an extended absorption profile thanks to chromic acid treatment, making them suitable for dental closures requiring moderate wound support without the need for removal. Paired with Hu-Friedy's Perma Sharp needles, they provide reliable sharpness and smooth performance for consistent results in oral surgery.

Why Clinicians Choose It

• Moderate-duration tensile strength — typically 7–14 days of support, bridging the gap between plain gut's rapid resorption and longer-term needs.
• Perma Sharp needle technology — effortless penetration, reduced force requirements, and sustained sharpness across multiple passes, minimizing procedural fatigue.
• Reduced tissue reactivity compared to plain gut, extending functional integrity while maintaining absorbable convenience.

Material Profile

Natural collagen treated with chromic salts to slow enzymatic degradation, decrease immunogenicity, and prolong tensile strength retention relative to untreated plain gut.

Common Dental Use Cases

• Periodontal flaps and oral surgery closures
• Extractions where absorbable sutures are preferred with slightly extended support
• Moderate-tension sites where plain gut resorbs too quickly

Always exercise clinical judgment based on wound type and individual healing expectations.
