Plain Catgut
Plain Catgut Surgical Sutures are absorbable monofilament sutures derived from purified collagen, providing reliable wound support during the initial healing phase before enzymatic absorption by the body. Plain catgut offers predictable absorption within approximately 60–90 days and is preferred for procedures where moderate-duration tissue support is sufficient. Available in various USP sizes with a range of needle configurations for general surgery, gynecology, and subcutaneous closure. Cost-effective and time-tested, plain catgut remains a staple absorbable suture material in operating rooms globally.
