Disposable Absorbable plain & chromic surgical catgut threads,3#75

Chromic Catgut  Suture discription                                                        
  Disposable and Absorbable plain or chromic surgical gut suture Surgical gut suture is an absorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of purified connective tissue (mostly collagen) derived from either the serosal layer of beef (bovine) or the submucosal fibrous layer of sheep (ovine) intestines. Surgical gut sutures are available in plain or chromic.

Chromic gut is processed to provide greater resistance to absorption

Surgical gut suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures, but not for use in cardiovascular and neurological tissues   Surgical gut sutures, being absorbable, should not be used where extended approximation of tissue is required.

When surgical gut suture is placed in tissue, a moderate tissue inflammation occurs, which is characteristic of foreign body response to a substance. This is followed by loss of tensile strength and a loss of suture mass, as the proteolytic enzymatic digestive process dissolves the surgical gut. This process continues until the suture is completely absorbed.

Many variable factors may affect the rate of absorption. Some of the major factors which can affect tensile strength loss and absorption rates are:

    Type of suture: plain gut generally absorbs more rapidly than chromic gut
    Infection: surgical gut is absorbed more rapidly in infected tissue than non-infected tissue
    Tissue sites: surgical gut will absorb more rapidly in tissue where increased levels of proteolytic enzymes are present, as in the secretions exhibited in the stomach, cervix and vagina

Chromic Catgut Suture  is a variant treated with chromic acid salts. This treatment produces roughly twice the stitch-holding time of plain catgut. Full tensile strength is extended to 18–21 days.it  has improved smoothness due to the dry presentation of the thread (plain catgut is wet). It is otherwise similar to plain catgut  Plain Catgut is a biologic absorbable suture obtained from sheep gut submucosa. Its threads are treated whit chromic salts to prolong the absorption time of the suture.   1. Catgut suture a natural absorbable suture and is obtained by longitudinally slitting the intestinal submucosa of sheep and goat, twisting the ribbons and joining them in wet condition giving monofilament finish.
2. Catgut plain sutures are absorbed by enzymatic hydrolysis and starts loosing tensile strength from 12-15 days on implantation.
3. Catgut plain sutures are absorbed extremely fast and elicit very minimal tissue reaction.
4. Catgut plain sutures are available in undyed (ivory colour) form. Sterilized by sterilizing fluid containing Gamma.
