Description of Janteng Chromic catgut suture

• Janteng absorbable catgut suture thread is originally used animal originated suture twisted filament, 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.

Characteristic of Janteng Chromic catgut suture

• High purity collagen between 97 and 98%
• Chroming process before twisting it.
• Uniform calibration and polishing (monofilament appearance).
• Sterilized by Gamma rays of Cobalt 60.

Benefits of Janteng Chromic catgut suture

• Minimum tissue reaction
• Uniform chroming along the thread length, providing a reliable tissue support during the absorption.
• Provides soft way through the tissues (minimizing tissue drag).
• Complete and reliable sterilization. Preserving the natural characteristics of collagen.
