Chromic Gut sutures are covered in chromic salt to prolong integrity, minimize tissue reactivity,
and minimize the chance of adverse reactions. Chromic Gut is treated with chromium salt solution to
resist body enzymes, thereby prolonging the absorption time

PGA ( Polyglycolic acid ) synthetic absorbable suture is a braided multifilament or monofilament thread
made of Polyglycolic acid and coated with N-Laurin and L-Lysine, which render the thread
extremely smooth. PGA surgical suture needle is used wherever absorption is required

PDS ( Polydioxanone ) synthetic absorbable suture made of the polyester, poly ( p-dioxanone ).
It is non-antigenic, non-pyrogenic, and elicits minimal tissue reactivity during the absorption process.
Polydioxanone is ideal for internal tissues where a long lasting absorption is required.

Plain or Simple Gut and Chromic Gut is absorbable surgical suture material made of highly purified
connective tissue ( mostly collagen ) derived from either beef or sheep intestines.
Due to an extremely short absorption period, plain gut elicits only minimal reaction in tissues and
is absorbed more rapidly in infected areas and in areas where increased levels of enzymes are present.
