About Healthium Trugut 0
Suture sizes follow the USP scale. Sizes with more zeros are finer, so 3-0 is finer than 2-0, which is finer than 0, while sizes 1 and 2 are thicker. This product is size 0.
Healthium Trugut 0 USP is a chromic catgut suture, an absorbable natural suture made from purified intestinal tissue and treated with chromium salts to slow down absorption.
Chromic catgut is used for tissues that heal quickly and do not need long-term support, such as some internal layers and ligatures. The body breaks the suture down over the healing period, so it does not need to be removed.
This is a surgical product for use by veterinarians and trained veterinary staff.
