Ask a question

What is chromic catgut suture used for?

Chromic catgut sutures are ideal for procedures requiring extended support during healing, such as internal tissue closures and ligations. These sutures are treated with chromium salts, which delay their absorption and extend their tensile strength. The MacSuture 4-0, 13 inch Chromic Catgut Absorbable Suture provides an excellent option for these cases. It is particularly effective in gastrointestinal surgeries, urological procedures, and oral surgeries where gradual tissue healing is necessary. With MacSuture, you are assured of high-quality, reliable chromic catgut sutures that balance strength and absorbability for optimal healing.

What is the difference between Vicryl and chromic suture?

Vicryl is a synthetic, braided suture made of polyglactin 910, offering predictable absorption and extended tensile strength for about 2-3 weeks. Chromic catgut, like the MacSuture 4-0, 13 inch Chromic Catgut Absorbable Suture, is a natural suture treated with chromium salts to slow its absorption. It maintains its strength for around 10-14 days, making it ideal for tissues that heal moderately fast but require some prolonged support. MacSuture ensures that surgeons have access to premium chromic catgut sutures for procedures where natural absorption and extended support are key.

How long is catgut suture absorbable?

Chromic catgut sutures, like the MacSuture 4-0, 13 inch Chromic Catgut Absorbable Suture, are absorbable within 90 days, with tensile strength maintained for up to 14 days. This slow absorption rate allows chromic sutures to provide longer support for healing tissues, making them ideal for use in internal tissues such as muscle, gastrointestinal closures, or urological procedures. Surgeons trust MacSuture to deliver catgut sutures with precise absorption profiles, ensuring dependable performance and smooth post-surgical outcomes.

What is the difference between chromic and plain catgut sutures?

The main difference between chromic and plain catgut sutures lies in their absorption rates and tensile strength. Chromic catgut sutures, like the MacSuture 4-0, 13 inch Chromic Catgut Absorbable Suture, are treated with chromium salts to slow their absorption, providing support for tissues that heal over a longer period. In contrast, plain catgut sutures absorb faster and are ideal for tissues that heal quickly, such as skin and mucosal tissues. MacSuture offers both chromic and plain catgut sutures, allowing surgeons to choose the ideal suture for each specific procedure.

Which is the most important characteristic of chromic catgut sutures?

The most important characteristic of chromic catgut sutures is their delayed absorption rate, which allows for extended tensile strength. This makes them ideal for tissues that require longer-term support during the healing process. The MacSuture 4-0, 13 inch Chromic Catgut Absorbable Suture offers this crucial advantage, ensuring that tissues remain securely closed as they heal. With MacSuture, you get superior-quality chromic catgut sutures that provide reliable performance in surgical procedures, ensuring optimal tissue recovery with gradual suture absorption.
