Product Details:
| Composition: | Purified connective tissue (collagen) derived from the sub-mucous layer of sheep (bovine) intestine. |
| Construction: | Monofilament |
| Coating: | Plain sutures are without coating, Chromic sutures have been tanned by treatment with chromium salt in the trivalent form and coloured with oxidized pyrogallol, colour index 76515. |
| In vitro retention of strength : | Effective strength is usually lost between 10-12 days in case of plain catgut and by 21-30 days in case of chromic catgut. |
| Tissue Reaction: | Moderate tissue inflammation occurs which is characteristic of a foreign body response. Loss of tensile strength and loss of mass follows as the proteolytic enzymatic digestive process dissolves the surgical catgut. |
| Absorption Time: | Absorption is essentially complete in 60-90 days. Sterilization: Packed in sterilizing fluid, the constituents of which are Isopropanol, Water, Sodium Benzoate and Ethylene Oxide. |
| Available in Sizes : | 5-0, 4-0, 3-0, 2-0, 0, 1, 2, 3. |
| Colour: | Beige and Tanned Brown. |
| Shelf Life: | 5 years. |
| Packaging: | Box of 12 and 36 sutures. |
Distinct Features:
-
Soft and smooth feel that helps in easy passage through the tissue with minimal trauma.
-
Very high initial tensile strength and excellent handling.
-
Catgut suture with the highest quality collagen maintaining a composition of 97-98%.
-
Higher percentage of collagen allows for superior tensile strength.
