Description:
Healthium Trugut Suture 1‑0 (Chromic) is a sterile, absorbable collagen-based suture derived from sheep or goat intestinal submucosa. The chromic treatment prolongs absorption (90–120 days), retains approximately 50% tensile strength at 7–10 days, and offers durable wound support during the initial healing phase. Each strand is polished for uniform diameter and softness, then packed in isopropyl alcohol for enhanced flexibility and handling. The suture is ethylene-oxide sterilized, non-adhering, biologically inert, and induces minimal tissue reaction, making it suitable for general soft tissue approximation and ligation in a variety of surgical procedures.
Key Features:
-
Chromic catgut construction – delays absorption to 90–120 days, retaining tensile strength through early healing phase.
-
Approximately 50% strength retention at 7–10 days post-implantation to support soft tissue closure.
-
Polished collagen fiber – ensures consistent diameter and smooth tissue passage, minimizing trauma.
-
Packed in isopropyl alcohol – maintains softness and pliability for improved handling.
-
Ethylene-oxide sterilized, biologically inert – non-adhering with minimal inflammatory response.
