Additional Information:
- Catgut Chromic sutures are derived from the submucosal fibrous layer of sheep or goat intestines. The term "catgut" is a misnomer and has historical roots, possibly originating from "kitgut" or "knot gut." The chromic treatment increases resistance to enzymatic breakdown, delaying absorption. While widely used historically, synthetic alternatives are now more common in surgical practices.
