BASIK® SMI AG Chromic Catgut Suture Cassettes provide a convenient 50 meter cassette of absorbable chromic catgut suture. The cassette format allows you to pull out and cut only the length needed for the procedure, helping reduce waste while keeping suture material ready for daily use.
Chromic catgut is made from purified collagen taken from the serosal layer of selected bovines and treated with chrome salts. This chromizing process slows the absorption rate, allowing the suture to provide dependable wound support during the healing period.
BASIK® SMI AG Chromic Catgut has a twisted multifilament structure with a monofilament appearance. It is designed for high tensile strength, soft tissue passage, and reliable handling in general soft tissue closing and ligation.
Chromic catgut is absorbed by phagocytosis. Complete mass absorption occurs in approximately 90 days, and approximately 50% of tensile strength remains after 14 days. The chromic treatment helps slow absorption compared with plain catgut.
This absorbable suture provides reliable wound support while gradually being absorbed by the body. Tissue reaction is moderate, consistent with chromic catgut suture material.
BASIK® SMI AG Chromic Catgut Suture Cassettes are intended for general soft tissue closing and/or ligation where an absorbable suture is preferred.
BASIK® SMI AG Chromic Catgut Suture Cassettes may be compared to JorVet / Jorgensen Labs Catgut Medium Chromic Cassette, UNIFY® by AD Surgical, and Vedco Chromic Catgut Cassette.
BASIK® SMI AG Chromic Catgut Suture Cassettes deliver dependable absorbable wound support, convenient cassette dispensing, and professional quality at an excellent value. As always, Medcare Products works to offer reliable surgical products at the best possible price.
