Chromic Catgut Suture – UNIGUT

Chromic Catgut Suture is a twisted multifilament structure with a monofilament appearance, It is natural surgical gut suture made by twisting together strand of Collagenous material taken from the submucosal layers of the small intestine of healthy sheep and goat.

The chromic catgut is processed to provide higher resistance to absorption and treated with chromic salts to delay absorption. Chromic sutures are sterile and elicit only to a minimal tissue reaction during the absorption.

In-house needle manufacturing provides the better needles with optimum sharpness which is finally delivers smooth riding on tissue during suturing.

Chromic Catgut is naturally absorbable surgical suture and absorb by simple enzymatic mechanism and absorption is not as predictable as in synthetic sutures. Chromic catgut suture tend to absorb faster in affected tissues. Unigut suture initial tensile strength is lost within 14 to 21 days and is absorbed completely in 90 to 120 days. It is non-adhering and biologically inert.

• Best use for: General Closure, Obstetrics/Gynecology and Gastro-intestinal tract surgery.
• Ultimate Suture: Fast Healing tissue and Muscles, Soft tissue approximation.
• UNIGUT Suture meets all the requirements established by the United States Pharmacopoeia for natural absorbable surgical suture.
