Description

:

GUTPRO C sutures are natural, absorbable, sterile surgical sutures for short-medium term wound support with exceptional strength. Catgut sutures are most widely used in the surgery, obtained by longitudinally slitting the intestinal submucosa of sheep and goat, twisting the ribbons and joining them in wet condition giving monofilament finish. Catgut sutures tend to absorb faster in infected tissues. Catgut chromic sutures are treated with chromic salt to enhance absorption period and reduce any adverse tissue reaction.
