Medical Dispossible Absorbable Chromic Catgut with Needle
Animal originated suture with twisted filament, absorbable brown color.
Obtained from the thin intestine serous layer of a healthy bovine free of BSE and aphtose fever.
Because it is an animal originated material tissue reactivity is relatively moderate.
Absorbed by fagositosis in approximately 90 days.
The thread keeps its tensile strength between 14 and 21 days. Specific patient artificial make tensile strength times vary.
Color code: Ochre label.
Frequently used in tissues that have easy healing and that do not require permanent artificial support.

Synthetic Absorbable Polyglactin 910 Suture with Needle
Synthetic, absorbable, multifilament braided suture, in a violet color or undyed.
Made of a copolymer of glycolide and L-latide poly(glycolide-co-L-lactide).
The tisssue reactivity in microscope form is minimal.
Absorption occurs through progressive hydrolytic action; completed between 56 and 70 days.
The material retains approximately 75% if its tensile strength by the end of two weeks,and 40% to 50% by the third week.
Color code: Violet label.
Frequently used for tissue coaptation and ophthalmic procedures.

Synthetic Absorbable Polyglycolic Acid Suture with Needle
Synthetic, absorbable, multifilament braided suture, in a violet color or undyed.
Made of polyglycolic acid with polycaprolactone and calcium stearate coating.
The tisssue reactivity in microscope form is minimal.
Absorption occurs through progressive hydrolytic action, completed between 60 and 90 days.
The material retains approximately 70% if its tensile strength by the end of two weeks, and 50% by the third week.
Color code: Violet label.
Frequently used in tissue coaptation ties and ophthalmic procedures.
