General Introduction to Fosun Catgut chromic sutures
● Animal originated suture 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 the tissue reactivity is relatively moderated.
● Absorbed by fagositosis in approximately 70 days.
● The thread keeps its tensile strength between 14 and 21 days, the patients factors can make such tensile strength times vary.
● Color code: ochre label.
● Frequently used in tissues that have easy healing and that do not require permanent artificial support.

Fosmedic/Meiyi brand absorbable suture is made of high-quality stainless steel for medical application, it's applied to suture soft tissues on human body. The suture thread and its coat are covered with inert, non-antigenic and non-pyrogenic polymeric imide and stearic calcium. The suture and its coat can be absorbed by human body through degradation and its degradation have no reverse action on human body
1) Material: Catgut,a natural absorbable suture obtained by longitudinally slitting the intestinal submucosa and tissues of sheep and goat, twisting the ribbons and joining them in wet condition giving monofilament finish;
It is composed of purified connective tissue. The chromic gut contains a chromic salt solution to delay absorption. Surgical gut suture meets all requirements established by the United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) for absorbable surgical sutures.
