Chromic Catgut Suture is a treated, absorbable surgical thread designed to offer extended wound support with minimal tissue reactivity. Its chromic salt treatment delays absorption, making it ideal for internal tissue approximation where moderate healing time is needed.
Chromic Catgut Suture is a sterile, absorbable, natural collagen-based surgical suture processed from healthy bovine intestinal tissue and treated with chromic salts to prolong its tensile strength and reduce tissue inflammation. This treatment provides a more controlled and extended absorption profile compared to plain catgut.
Widely used in general surgeries, gynecology, urology, and oral procedures, Chromic Catgut retains about 50–70% of its tensile strength for 10–14 days, with complete absorption occurring within 90 days. Its smooth surface ensures excellent handling, ease of passage through tissues, and dependable knot security.
Ideal for internal soft tissue ligation where longer wound support is beneficial, it is not suitable for cardiovascular or neurosurgical procedures.
