- Chromic gut sutures are covered in chromic salt to:
- Prolong integrity
- Minimize tissue reactivity
- Reduce the chance of tissue reactions
- Manufactured with the highest quality collagen to minimize the possibility of fraying
- Tensile Strength Duration is usually* starts losing by 18 – 25 days and absorption is essentially completed by 90 – 100 days. Catgut sutures tend to absorb faster in infected tissues
- Needle Spec Comparable to: PS-3, P-11
- Needle maintains shape and sharpness 3X longer than regular needles
