Chromic Catgut
Chromic Catgut Surgical Sutures are absorbable sutures treated with chromic salt to extend absorption time and reduce tissue reactivity compared to plain catgut. Identified by their characteristic brown color, chromic catgut maintains tensile strength for approximately 90–120 days before complete enzymatic absorption. This extended support profile makes chromic catgut suitable for internal organ approximation, muscle layer closure, and procedures requiring prolonged suture presence. Available in standard USP sizes with various needle attachments for general, gynecological, and gastrointestinal surgical applications.
Product Overview
Chromic Catgut Sutures are natural absorbable sutures derived from purified collagen treated with chromium salts. The chromic tanning process extends absorption time and improves cross-linking for enhanced durability.
