Chromic tanned catgut by Scantrik

chromic tanned catgut” is a type of absorbable surgical suture made from purified collagen fibers extracted from the submucosa of sheep intestines, which has been treated with chromium salts to slow down its absorption rate by the body, giving it a longer lasting tensile strength compared to plain catgut; essentially, it’s a natural suture that has been “tanned” with chromium to delay its breakdown within the tissue. 

Plain catgut is a natural suture material derived from the submucosa of sheep intestine or the serosa of cattle intestine. Chromic catgut is a modification of plain catgut that is tanned with chromic salts to improve strength and delay dissolution
