Catgut Chromic Brown Colour Suture Type - Natural Catgut chromic suture is a type of surgical suture made from the submucosal fibrous layer of a sheep's or goat's intestine. The term "catgut" is a misnomer, as it doesn't involve cat intestines. The term may have originated from the word "kitgut" or "knot gut." The chromic treatment involves chromium salts, enhancing the suture's resistance to enzymatic digestion and slowing down its absorption by the body. Catgut chromic sutures were commonly used in surgery for their absorbable nature, but synthetic alternatives have gained popularity in modern medical practice.
