Chromic sutures are a specific type of surgical suture that are treated with chromic salt solutions to prolong their integrity and minimize tissue reactivity. The 2/0 Chromic Suture with Needle, typically packaged in boxes of 12, is a popular choice for various surgical procedures due to its reliable performance and quality. These sutures are made from purified connective tissue, mostly collagen, derived from the serosal layer of beef or the submucosal fibrous layer of sheep intestines, which ensures a dependable and predictable absorption and an extremely high tensile strength. They are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including ophthalmic procedures, but are not recommended for use in cardiovascular and neurological tissues. The chromic treatment provides greater resistance to absorption, which can be particularly beneficial in internal body environments where a longer-lasting suture is required. Each strand is precision polished to a uniform diameter, allowing for smooth and secure knotting. Sterile, single use chromic catgut sutures. Absorbable. Reverse cutting needles in boxes of 12. ***Due to California state licensing regulations, this product cannot be shipped to California. ‍

The 30' OB Chain is an essential tool in the realm of veterinary obstetrics, particularly in the agricultural sector. Crafted from high-grade materials this durable chain is designed to withstand the rigors of assisting with the delivery of calves. Its length and material are chosen to provide a good grip on the calf without causing injury, ensuring the safety of both the animal and the user. The OB chain's sanitary properties make it a superior choice over traditional ropes, which can harbor bacteria and are more challenging to clean. The choice of chain length is crucial; the 30' chain is optimal when the front legs of the calf are exposed, while longer chains may be necessary for different birthing positions within the birth canal. This tool's design reflects a deep understanding of the calving process and a commitment to animal welfare, making it a reliable choice for farmers and veterinarians alike. During calf delivery, there are several common complications that can arise, posing risks to both the calf and the mother. One of the most frequent issues is dystocia, which is difficulty in delivering the calf due to its size or position. Calves that are too large or positioned abnormally in the birth canal can cause significant delays in delivery, leading to oxygen deprivation and potential mortality. Additionally, cows with smaller pelvic areas may experience more difficulty during calving, which is particularly common in younger cows that have not reached full skeletal maturity. Nutritional status also plays a critical role; cows that are either undernourished or overweight may have increased rates of dystocia. Other complications include abnormal presentations, such as breech or transverse positions, which require veterinary intervention to correct. Managing these risks involves careful monitoring, proper nutrition, and sometimes, medical intervention to ensure the health and safety of both the cow and the calf during the birthing process This OB Chain is Strong! Tested to withstand a minimum of 1,200 lbs. of pull  ‍
