Chromic catgut is a natural, absorbable suture material made from the submucosal layer of sheep intestine. It is processed with chromium trioxide to delay its absorption rate, making it ideal for use in soft tissues that require moderate wound support. Chromic catgut sutures are typically absorbed within 90-120 days.
Chromic catgut sutures are available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 0 (the largest) to 3-0 (the smallest). They are also available with a variety of needle types, including round body, reverse cutting, and tapercut.
