LuxSutures® Chromic Catgut is a natural absorbable surgical suture material manufactured from purified collagen derived from animal submucosa and treated with chromic salts to slow absorption and extend tensile strength.
Engineered for soft tissue approximation and ligation, LuxSutures® Chromic Catgut provides reliable wound support during the early healing phase before being gradually absorbed by the body through enzymatic action.
This suture range is widely used in general surgery, gynecology, urology, gastrointestinal and ophthalmic procedures, particularly where short-term tensile support is required and suture removal is not desirable.
