1. Catgut is absorbed faster - often an advantage. 2. Catgut is somewhat stiffer so it stands up when you are trying to find an end to tie. 3. Catgut is somewhat smoother than Vicryl

These are reasons to use catgut. That doesn't mean I don't like Vicryl but it has its place.

Art,

I don|t know. But what I know, is that the US government was quite ready to ban blood donors if they just set foot down in Europe.

What I also know is that (bio-)chemistry doesn't lie.

And, when paying attention a bit, I usually don't tear it through the muscle.

So, why use catgut (and/or chromic)?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
