• Causes minimal tissue reaction
• High collagen purity
• Polished to give uniformity of diameter along the strand and a smooth surface for easy tissue passage.
• Packed in isopropyl alcohol to keep the suture soft, and flexible, and improve handling.
• Uniform twist spread along the suture length and controlled drying provide high tensile strength

Trugut is available in Plain Catgut (Yellow) and Chromic Catgut (Brown). Chromic Catgut, due to its chrome content, is absorbed within 90 – 120 days.

• Soft tissue approximation and/or ligation

TRUGUT Sutures are made by longitudinally slitting the intestinal submucosa of sheep and goats followed by a process of twisting and polishing giving the sutures a monofilament finish. The uniform chrome content in Trugut Chromic provides required wound support and absorption. It retains about 50% of the initial tensile strength after 7 to 10 days of implantation and is absorbed by body tissue within 90 – 120 days. Plain catgut’s initial tensile strength is lost within 7 to 10 days and is absorbed completely in 60 to 70 days. Catgut sutures tend to absorb faster in infected tissues.
