🔭 Product Description
Surgical Suture
Chromic Catgut is a type of natural absorbable suture typically used for stitching in surgical procedures. It is made from the intestines of cows or sheep and undergoes a special treatment to have strong tensile strength and a longer absorption period. Chromic Catgut is commonly used for internal sutures because it gradually gets absorbed by the body, avoiding the inconvenience and pain of removing external sutures. The product comes in different sizes and thread types to suit various surgical needs. When using it, the doctor needs to soak the Chromic Catgut in saline solution for a period of time before using instruments to suture it onto the surgical site. Prior to use, Chromic Catgut must undergo complete sterilization and be operated on by a trained physician to ensure the safety and success of the surgery.
