Features

• 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% triethanolamine
• Chromic gut is treated with chromic salt solution
• Mild chromic sutures are specially treated for ophthalmic and cuticular applications
• 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
• CHROMIC GUT sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic surgery, but not in cardiovascular or neurological surgery
