CHROMIC CATGUT WITHLESS MEMORY TRAY

Meril's Merisoft Chromic™ Catgut Sutures are natural absorbable surgical sutures crafted from purified connective tissue, predominantly collagen, sourced from sheep intestines. These sutures undergo a chromicization process, where they are treated with chromium salts to enhance their resistance to enzymatic degradation, thereby extending their absorption period to approximately 90 to 120 days. To improve handling characteristics, these sutures are packaged in a Less Memory Tray (LMT), which minimizes the memory effect, ensuring increased pliability and ease of use during surgical procedures.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Prolonged Absorption: The chromic treatment delays the suture's absorption, providing extended wound support during critical healing phases.

• Enhanced Handling: Packaging in a Less Memory Tray reduces the suture's memory effect, offering increased pliability and facilitating smoother handling and knotting during surgeries.

• Smooth Tissue Passage: Accurate polishing of the suture ensures minimal tissue drag, promoting smoother passage through tissues and reducing potential trauma.

• Predictable Performance: The high collagen content guarantees consistent absorption rates and reliable tensile strength, essential for effective wound closure.

Sizes and Technical Information:

• Suture Sizes: Available in USP sizes ranging from 6-0 to 1, accommodating a wide range of surgical requirements.

• Suture Lengths: Offered in various lengths to suit different procedural needs.

• Structure: Twisted multifilament design provides a balance between strength and flexibility, mimicking a monofilament-like appearance.

• Color: Brown, enhancing visibility during surgical application.

• Sterilization: Sterilized using gamma radiation, ensuring the product is free from contaminants and safe for clinical use.
