LuxSutures Catgut Chromic Dental Sutures - Natural Absorbable

LuxSutures Catgut Chromic Dental Sutures are natural absorbable sutures manufactured from purified connective tissue that has been chromium salt treated to slow absorption and prolong tensile strength.

Compared with plain catgut, LuxSutures Catgut Chromic provides longer wound support and reduced enzymatic absorption, making it suitable for dental procedures requiring moderate-duration tensile strength in the oral environment. Absorption occurs through enzymatic proteolysis, but at a slower and more controlled rate than Catgut Plain.

LuxSutures Catgut Chromic dental sutures are widely used where temporary wound support is required without the need for suture removal, while still allowing natural absorption.
