Product Description
Chromic Catgut Suture is a sterile, absorbable surgical suture manufactured from high-quality chromic-treated catgut. The chromic treatment extends the absorption period and improves tensile strength retention, making it suitable for procedures that require longer wound support compared to plain catgut suture.
Designed for reliable tissue approximation and ligation, Chromic Catgut Sutures provide excellent handling characteristics, secure knot performance and superior tensile strength. The suture retains its tensile strength for approximately 14–21 days, ensuring adequate wound support during the critical healing phase. Absorption occurs through a natural enzymatic process and is typically completed within 70 days.
Available in a wide range of sizes, Chromic Catgut Sutures are commonly used for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic procedures. The product is EO sterilized and supplied in aluminum foil packs with or without needles to ensure sterility and consistent performance.
