CAT GUT CHROMIC Suture
|
Teb keyhan Chromic Catgut is a biologic absorbable suture obtained from sheep gut submucosa.
|
CAT GUT CHROMIC
|
Type
|
Twisted multifilament whit a monofilament aspect
|
|
Composition
|
Strands of purified collagen taken from the submucosal layer of sheep intestine, tanned whit chrome
|
|
Coating
|
None
|
|
Colour
|
Dark brown
|
|
Tissue reaction
|
Moderate
|
|
Absorption
|
By phagocytosis. the rate of absorption is slowed down by chromizing. complete mass absorption in approximately 70 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remains after 14 days. When used infected tissue whit increased tissue or in tissues whit increased levels of proteolytic enzymes (stomach, cervix, and vagina) it is more quickly absorbed.

Description
Teb keyhan Chromic Catgut is a biologic absorbable suture obtained from sheep gut submucosa.its threads are treated whit chromic salts to prolong the absorption time of the suture.Chromic Catgut is absorbed by the enzymatic reaction (phagocytosis). A tissue reaction may be observed before organic materials are completely absorbed.complete mass absorption is approximately in 70 days. The thread keeps its tensile strength between 14 and 21 days. When used in infected tissue or in tissue with increased levels of proteolytic enzymes (e.g.stomach, cervix, and vagina)it is more quickly absorbed. This suture is sterilized by gamma radiation and is available in brown color. Available sizes are presented in the attached table.
Indication
-General closure and/or ligation
-Obstetrics
-Gynecology
-Urology
-Gastrointestinal surgery
-Ophthalmic surgery
Contra- Indication
-Cardiovascular surgery
-Neurosurgery
-In extended tissue approximation
-In the region of infected wounds
-Known sensitivities or allergies to chromium or collagen
-Caution in patient with delayed wound healing (e.g. compromised immunity system)
Packaging
Teb Keyhan Chromic Catgut is packed as follow:
Single-needled gauge sizes 6/0 to 2 (U.S.P) with a suture length of 75 cm are packed in boxes containing 24 sachets of sterilized ready-to-use suture.
Expiration
Teb Keyhan Chromic Catgut sutures are usable for up 5 years from their manufacturing date.
