Chromic & Plain GUT |
| |
Surgik's Catgut is an absorbable surgical suture, both plain and chromic, is an absorbable, sterile, flexible thread prepared from either the serosal connective tissue (mostly collagen) layer of beef (bovine) or the submucosal fibrous tissue of sheep (ovine) intestine. Plain gut suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic surgery, but not in cardiovascular or neurological surgery.

Characteristics of surgik's Chromic & Plain GUT sutures: |
| |
- Drill End needles for maximum strength between thread and needles
- Purity of collagen for optimal tensile strength
- Due to rapid absorption catgut elicits minimal reaction in tissues
- Surface smoothness to facilitate knot run-down and knot strength
- Ideal for tissues which heals rapidly and requiere minimal support
- Precise knot placement
- Strength duration Chromic Gut: 20-30 days
- Strength duration Plain Gut: 7-10 days
