Norvich Health’s Catgut Chromic is of the highest quality with collagen compositions of over 95% ensuring higher tensile strength and absorption times. Norvich Health’s Catgut Chromic suture holds tensile strength on implantation from 18-21 days and complete absorption takes place in approximately 55-75 days.

Applications:Norvich Health’s Catgut Chromic is ideal for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures.

Characteristics of Norvich Health’s Catgut Chromic suture:

• Drill End Press Fit needles for maximum strength between thread and needles• Accurate polishing ensures smoother passage through tissue• High collagen purity• Superb Handling properties• Minimal tissue irritation• Uniform twist spread across the suture length and controlled dying provides high tensile strength• Chromium processing decreases absorption rate and increases tensil strength• Complete absorption in 55 to 75 days from implantation
