Description

Plain Surgical Gut Suture is a sterile, absorbable suture composed of purified connective tissue derived from the serosal layer of bovine or ovine intestines. It is classified as a natural monofilament suture and is designed for use in soft tissue approximation where only temporary support is required. Absorption occurs by enzymatic digestion, which can vary depending on tissue type and patient condition.

This suture is provided in a LIGAPAK™ ligating reel format, which enables rapid and efficient access to continuous strands during surgery. The 54-inch length of Size 3/0 material is ideal for multiple ligations, particularly in procedures where quick, repeated tying is necessary without the interruption of needle attachment or suture reload.

Common uses include ligation of small vessels, mucosal closures, and subcutaneous tissue approximation in general surgery, gynecology, and urology. The reel format enhances procedural speed and convenience in environments requiring multiple, rapid ties.
