Peters Surgical Stericat Catgut Chromic Suture

Peters Surgical Stericat Catgut Chromic is an absorbable, natural suture made from purified connective tissue (mostly collagen) derived from healthy bovine intestines. Treated with chromic salts, it offers prolonged absorption time and reduced tissue reactivity. It is indicated for soft tissue approximation, including ophthalmic and general surgical procedures, but not for cardiovascular or neurological use. The suture elicits a mild tissue reaction followed by enzymatic absorption, typically complete within 90 days.

Key Features:

• Chromic-Treated for Prolonged Absorption – Extends tensile strength retention up to 21 days.

• Natural Collagen-Based Material – Ensures biocompatibility and predictable absorption.

• Moderate Tissue Reactivity – Reduced compared to plain catgut due to chromic treatment.

• Smooth Handling & Knot Security – Facilitates easy manipulation and reliable knotting.

• Sterile & Ready-to-Use – Ensures safety and convenience in surgical settings.
