Description
LOOK™ Chromic Gut sutures are absorbable natural sutures designed for reliable soft tissue closure in oral and periodontal procedures. Chromic treatment extends tensile strength while maintaining smooth handling and predictable absorption — ideal when suture removal is not preferred.
Key Features
Chromic-treated for extended tensile strength versus plain gut.
~10–14 days of tensile support with absorption completing in approximately 20–30 days intraorally.
Smooth passage and reliable knot security for consistent handling.
Wet-packed for optimal flexibility and suppleness at time of use.
Available in common dental gauges (2-0 to 5-0) and multiple needle configurations.
Common Dental Use Cases
General intraoral closure following extractions
Periodontal flap procedures
Grafting procedures requiring short-to-moderate wound support
Cases where suture removal is undesirable or follow-up is uncertain
