Absorbable Chromic Catgut Surgical Sutures, 12's are sterile, surgical threads made from purified connective tissues, treated with chromic salt to prolong absorption time. These sutures are commonly used for internal soft tissue approximation and ligation. They are absorbable, meaning they gradually dissolve in the body, eliminating the need for removal. Packaged in sets of 12, they offer reliable tensile strength and minimal tissue reaction for short- to medium-term wound support.
