Plain Catgut Suture is a natural absorbable suture made from purified collagen derived from healthy bovine intestinal tissue. Known for its smooth handling and quick absorption, it is ideal for internal soft tissue approximation where short-term wound support is sufficient.
Plain Catgut Suture is a sterile, absorbable surgical suture composed of natural collagen fibers processed from the submucosal layer of the small intestine of healthy bovine. Designed for soft tissue ligation and suturing, it offers excellent knot security, minimal tissue reactivity, and predictable absorption.
This suture maintains tensile strength for approximately 7–10 days and is absorbed completely within 60 to 70 days via enzymatic degradation. Its biological origin ensures compatibility with body tissues, making it an ideal choice for procedures requiring quick wound healing, such as gynecological, gastrointestinal, and oral surgeries.
Plain Catgut Sutures are supple and uniform in diameter, providing excellent knot-tying properties and easy handling. Though not recommended for cardiovascular or neurological procedures, they are highly effective in environments with rapid tissue regeneration.
