LNW 4259 CAT-GUT 1 NO

The Lotus LNW 4259 Sterilized Chromic Catgut is a type of surgical suture used for wound closure in various medical procedures. Here’s an overview of its key characteristics:

Material: Chromic catgut is a type of absorbable suture material derived from the submucosal layer of the small intestine of sheep or other mammals. It is processed to increase its tensile strength and absorption characteristics.

Absorbability: Chromic catgut sutures are absorbable, meaning they are broken down and metabolized by the body over time. The chromic treatment of the catgut prolongs the absorption process, allowing the suture to maintain its tensile strength for a longer period compared to plain catgut.

Sterilization: The sutures are sterilized to ensure they are free from microorganisms and safe for surgical use. Common sterilization methods include ethylene oxide gas, gamma radiation, or steam sterilization.
