ADVACAT

ADVACAT suture is absorbable, sterile surgical suture composed of purified connective tissue (mostly collagen) derived from submucosal fibrous layer of sheep intestines. ADVACAT suture is available in plain and chromic.


Chromic gut suture is treated with chromic salt solution to provide greater resistance to absorption & change the color to brown for improved visibility.


The manufacture of catgut raw material, consisting of long ribbons of highly selected serosal tissue, ensures:

Premium Needles for consistent Superior Performance

  • DURABLE COAT RETAINS SHARPNESS…PASS AFTER PASS

    Maintains needle sharpness over the duration of procedure, resulting into consistent penetration pass after pass thus less potential for tissue trauma.

  • RIBBED BODY FOR SUPERIOR CONTROL

    For superior grasping and stability of needle in needle forceps.

  • CHAMFERING MINIMUM SUTURE DETACHMENT

    Diminishes chances for suture fracturing at the swage, by rounding off the sharp edges of the barrel in the swage area of the needle.

  • ELECTROPOLISHING SMOOTH & BRIGHT

    Makes needle surface free from micro asperities, thus creates ultra sharp edges for lesser tissue drag.

Robust manufacturing process & superior primary aluminum packaging
Least moisture content in the suture foil ensures strength & long term sterility throughout shelf life

  • ADVACAT suture is an absorbable sterile surgical suture composed of a Purified connective tissue (Collagen) derived from the submucosal layer of Ovine Intestine. ADVACAT suture is available in both Chromic and Plain form.

  • ADVACAT suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures.

  • ADVACAT suture being an absorbable suture, should not be used where extended approximation of tissues under stress is required. ADVACAT suture is contraindicated for use in cardiovascular and neurological tissues. ADVACAT suture is contraindicated in patients with known sensitivities or allergies to collagen since ADVACAT suture is collagen-based material.

  • Loss of tensile strength and loss of suture mass follows as the proteolytic enzymatic digestive process resorbs the surgical ADVACAT suture.
