Absorbable, Sterile Surgical Suture
Product Description :
ORICHROME (Chromic catgut) is an absorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of purified connective tissue (mostly collagen) Derived from the sub mucosal fibrous layer of healthy sheep intestines. Strands of purified collagen taken from the Serosal layer of selected bovines, tanned with chrome salts to provide Greater resistance to absorption.

| Absorption |
By phagocytosis. The rate of absorption is slowed down by chromizing. Complete mass absorption in approximately 90 days. Approximately 50% of tensile strength remains after 14 days. When used in infected tissues or in tissues with increased levels of proteolytic Enzymes (stomach, cervix, vagina) it is more quickly absorbed. |
