Description:
Healthium Trugut Chromic Catgut Suture 2‑0 is a sterile, natural absorbable monofilament derived from purified sheep/goat intestinal submucosa. Treated with chromic salts, it retains approximately 50 % of its tensile strength at 7–10 days post‑implantation and undergoes enzymatic absorption within 90–120 days. The collagen fibers are polished for uniform diameter and soaked in isopropyl alcohol to maintain softness and flexibility, providing smooth tissue passage and high tensile integrity. Sterilized via ethylene oxide and shelf‑stable up to five years, it induces minimal tissue reactivity and offers predictable performance even in infected or fluid-exposed environments.
Key Features:
-
Chromic salt–treated catgut – extended absorption profile of 90–120 days, retaining ~50 % strength at day 7–10
-
High-purity collagen & polished finish – ensures consistent diameter and atraumatic tissue glide
-
Packed in isopropyl alcohol – maintains softness for enhanced handling and pliability.
-
Low tissue reactivity & biologically inert – induces minimal inflammation and is non-adhering.
-
Sterile and shelf-stable – ethylene-oxide sterilized with five-year shelf life, ideal for general soft tissue approximation and ligation.
