Healthium Trugut Suture 4-0 Chromic - SN4280 Pack of 12

Healthium Trugut Chromic Catgut Suture is composed of purified connective tissue (collagen) derived from the sub-mucosal layer of sheep intestine. The suture is polished to ensure uniformity of diameter and a smooth surface that facilitates easy tissue passage during surgical procedures.

Yes, Healthium Trugut Chromic Catgut Suture is sterile and has been sterilized using ethylene oxide gas. The product is supplied in a conditioning fluid containing isopropanol, purified water, sodium benzoate, and ethylene oxide to maintain sterility and suture integrity until use.

Healthium Trugut Chromic Catgut Suture has a shelf life of 5 years when stored in its original conditioning fluid packaging. The conditioning fluid preserves the suture's physical and mechanical properties throughout this period.

This suture is supplied with a 3/8 circle round body needle measuring 16mm in length, making it suitable for general soft tissue approximation and closure in surgical procedures. The round body needle design provides controlled penetration through tissue layers.

Chromic catgut sutures are treated with chromium salts, which slows the absorption rate compared to plain catgut, providing extended tensile strength retention. This makes chromic catgut suitable for tissues requiring longer-term support during the healing process.

Healthium Trugut Chromic Catgut Suture is supplied in USP 4-0 diameter with a suture length of 76cm per strand, providing adequate length for most general surgical closure applications.
