Ask a question

What is chromic catgut suture used for?

Chromic catgut sutures are used for soft tissue approximation and ligation, particularly in areas where prolonged wound support is needed. These sutures are treated with chromium salts to extend their absorption time and reduce tissue irritation. The MacSuture 2-0, 24 inch Chromic Catgut Absorbable Suture with 24mm Reverse-Cutting Needle (3/8 Circle) is ideal for surgeries like gynecological, gastrointestinal, and oral procedures where moderate tensile strength is essential. Surgeons trust MacSuture for its reliability in delivering top-quality chromic catgut sutures that provide controlled absorption and consistent performance during critical procedures.

What is the difference between Vicryl and chromic suture?

Vicryl is a synthetic absorbable suture made from polyglactin 910, offering a more predictable absorption rate and higher tensile strength. Chromic catgut, on the other hand, is a natural absorbable suture derived from collagen in animal intestines, treated with chromium salts to extend its absorption. The MacSuture 2-0, 24 inch Chromic Catgut Absorbable Suture offers the advantages of natural absorption while providing prolonged tissue support compared to standard plain catgut. When you choose MacSuture, you opt for dependable sutures tailored for various surgical applications, giving you both strength and flexibility in wound healing.

How long is catgut suture absorbable?

Chromic catgut sutures are designed to be absorbed over a period of approximately 10 to 21 days, though the exact time frame depends on the tissue environment and the patient's physiological conditions. The chromium treatment delays absorption, making it suitable for surgeries that require moderate tissue support over a longer period. MacSuture's 2-0, 24 inch Chromic Catgut Absorbable Suture ensures that surgeons have the flexibility they need to provide effective tissue closure, with gradual absorption that reduces the need for suture removal. MacSuture's sutures are crafted for maximum efficiency and reliability in surgical settings.

What is the difference between chromic and plain catgut sutures?

The primary difference between chromic and plain catgut sutures lies in the treatment process. Chromic catgut is treated with chromium salts, extending its absorption time and reducing tissue reaction, making it suitable for procedures that require longer wound support. Plain catgut absorbs much faster, usually within 7 to 10 days, and is used for less demanding surgeries. The MacSuture 2-0, 24 inch Chromic Catgut Absorbable Suture offers the benefits of extended support, ensuring effective and reliable healing, particularly in tissues where a slower absorption rate is desired. With MacSuture, surgeons can count on premium quality and performance.

Which is the most important characteristic of chromic catgut sutures?

The most important characteristic of chromic catgut sutures is their ability to provide prolonged tissue support while being naturally absorbable. The chromium treatment gives the suture its delayed absorption rate, which is essential for procedures that require moderate tensile strength over a longer period. The MacSuture 2-0, 24 inch Chromic Catgut Absorbable Suture is designed to offer the best balance between strength, flexibility, and absorption. MacSuture ensures that each suture meets the highest standards of quality and performance, making it a trusted choice for medical professionals worldwide.
