Ask a question

What is chromic catgut suture used for?

Chromic catgut sutures are absorbable and treated with chromium salts, which extends their durability and slows the absorption process. This makes them ideal for use in surgeries that require soft tissue approximation, such as in oral, gynecological, and gastrointestinal procedures. The MacSuture 3-0, 18 inch Chromic Catgut Absorbable Suture is especially well-suited for procedures where a longer absorption time is needed, offering dependable strength for tissue support. Surgeons can trust MacSuture to provide high-quality, naturally absorbable sutures that ensure efficient wound healing and reduce the need for suture removal.

What is the difference between Vicryl and chromic suture?

Vicryl is a synthetic absorbable suture made from polyglactin 910, known for its predictable absorption rate and superior tensile strength. Chromic catgut, on the other hand, is a natural absorbable suture that has been treated to extend its absorption time and reduce tissue reaction. While Vicryl offers more consistent performance in terms of strength retention, the MacSuture 3-0, 18 inch Chromic Catgut Absorbable Suture is preferred for its natural composition and gradual absorption. MacSuture's chromic catgut sutures provide an effective balance between strength and natural healing, making them a reliable choice for various surgical needs.

How long is catgut suture absorbable?

Catgut sutures come in two types: plain and chromic. Plain catgut sutures are absorbed by the body in about 7 to 10 days, while chromic catgut sutures, like the MacSuture 3-0, 18 inch Chromic Catgut Absorbable Suture, are treated to extend absorption up to 10 to 21 days. This prolonged absorption period is beneficial for tissues that require extended support during the healing process. Surgeons can count on MacSuture to deliver quality chromic catgut sutures that provide optimal tissue support over time, without the need for suture removal.

What is the difference between chromic and plain catgut sutures?

The primary difference between chromic and plain catgut sutures lies in their absorption rates and treatment. Chromic catgut is treated with chromium salts, which extends its absorption time and reduces tissue reactivity, making it suitable for procedures that require longer-term support. Plain catgut sutures absorb faster, typically within 7 to 10 days, and are ideal for quicker healing processes. The MacSuture 3-0, 18 inch Chromic Catgut Absorbable Suture is designed to provide durable, long-lasting tissue support. MacSuture ensures that you have the perfect suture for your surgical needs, offering both chromic and plain options that meet the highest standards.

Which is the most important characteristic of chromic catgut sutures?

The most notable characteristic of chromic catgut sutures is their extended absorption time, which provides longer tissue support compared to plain catgut sutures. The chromium treatment enhances the durability and reduces tissue reaction, allowing for gradual absorption and a smoother healing process. The MacSuture 3-0, 18 inch Chromic Catgut Absorbable Suture offers this key benefit, ensuring that surgeons have a reliable option for surgeries requiring extended wound closure. MacSuture's high-quality chromic catgut sutures deliver optimal performance in tissue healing, making them an excellent choice for long-term surgical support.
