Description:
Healthium Trugut Suture 4‑0 (Chromic Catgut) is a sterile, natural absorbable monofilament composed of polished collagen derived from sheep/goat intestinal submucosa. Chromic treatment extends absorption to 90–120 days, with approximately 50% tensile strength retention at 7–10 days and some remaining through 21–28 days, providing sustained wound support in the early healing period. The suture is polished for uniform diameter and soaked in isopropyl alcohol to maintain pliability and smooth tissue glide, while EO sterilization and a shelf-life of five years ensure reliability and handling consistency. Ideal for general soft tissue approximation and ligation where moderate reaction and predictable absorption are acceptable.
Key Features
-
Chromic salt–treated collagen catgut – extended enzymatic absorption over 90–120 days, ideal for moderate-duration wound support.
-
Tensile strength retention (~50% at 7–10 days; residual through 21–28 days) – supports early healing of soft tissues.
-
Polished monofilament finish & isopropyl alcohol conditioning – ensures smooth passage and enhanced surgical handling.
-
Minimal tissue reaction and biologically inert – moderate collagen-based inflammation and safe for general tissue closure.
-
Sterile EO packaging with long shelf-life (~5 years) – reliable storage and consistency across procedures.
