Chromic Catgut Suture is a twisted multifilament structure with a monofilament appearance. It is a natural surgical gut suture made by twisting together strands of collagenous material taken from the submucosal layers of the small intestine of healthy sheep and goats.
The chromic catgut is processed to provide higher resistance to absorption and treated with chromic salts to delay absorption. It’s sterile and elicits only a minimal tissue reaction during absorption.
In-house needle manufacturing provides better needles with optimum sharpness, which finally delivers smooth riding on tissue during suturing.
INDICATIONS
Chromic Catgut Suture is naturally absorbable by a simple enzymatic mechanism, and absorption is not as predictable as in synthetic sutures. Chromic catgut sutures tend to absorb faster in affected tissues.
