Product Description

CHROMIC GUT sutures are absorbable sterile surgical sutures composed of purified connective tissue (mostly collagen) derived from the serosal layer of beef (bovine) intestines. They are packaged in a solution of 89% isopropanol, 10% water and 1% triethanolmaine. CHROMIC GUT is treated with chromic salt solution. Mild chromic sutures are specially treated for ophthalmic and cuticular applications.

Features & Benefits

• Purity of collagen for optimal tensile strength and in-vivo performance
• Uniform treatment with a buffered chromium salt solution, resulting in a chromic strand with a more predictable strength and uniform in-vivo absorption
• Surface smoothness to facilitate knot run-down and knot strength, due to electronic polishing of each strand.
