Absorbable chromic catgut suture

Description of Janteng Chromic catgut suture

• Janteng catgut suture thread is originally used animal originated suture twisted filament, absorbable brown color.

• Obtained from the thin intestine serous layer of a healthy bovine free of BSE and aphtose fever.

• Because it is an animal originated material the tissue reactivity is relatively moderated.

• Absorbed by fagositosis in approximately 70 days.

• The thread keeps its tensile strength between 14 and 21 days, the patients factors can make such tensile strength times vary.

• Color code: ochre label.

• Frequently used in tissues that have easy healing and that do not require permanent artificial support.

Characteristic of Janteng Chromic catgut suture

• High purity collagen between 97 and 98%

• Chroming process before twisting it.

• Uniform calibration and polishing (monofilament appearance).

• Sterilized by Gamma rays of Cobalt 60.

Benefits of Janteng Chromic catgut suture

• Minimum tissue reaction

• Uniform chroming along the thread length, providing a reliable tissue support during the absorption.

• Provides soft way through the tissues (minimizing tissue drag).

• Complete and reliable sterilization. Preserving the natural characteristics of collagen.
