Product Description

Catgut chrome 

Catgut chrome is an absorbable suture made from natural collagen that has been treated with chromium salts. This absorbable suture, a popular choice in veterinary medicine, is composed of twisted filaments but has a monofilament look. It is obtained from the natural serosal layer in cattle. To ensure a high degree of safety, Catgut chrome is exclusively manufactured from bovine intestines from countries and bovine populations that are guaranteed free from BSE.


In contrast to Catgut plain, Catgut chrome causes less tissue reaction due to the chromium salt treatment and has a significantly longer absorption time. This makes Catgut chrome the suture of choice when threads need to be absorbed but the wound also needs to be held together longer.
