Product Description
The ChromaSure™ Chromic Catgut Suture is a sterile, absorbable surgical suture made from purified connective tissue (mostly collagen) derived from healthy sheep intestinal serosa. Treated with chromic salts to provide predictable absorption and extended tensile strength, it is ideal for internal tissue approximation and ligation. The ½ circle needle allows for smooth penetration with minimal tissue trauma, and each strand is pre-cut to 75 cm for convenience and precision in surgical use.
