Catgut Plain Sutures | Progut

Catgut Plain Sutures

• Features

  • Catgut Plain Sutures are naturally absorbable sutures.
  • Catgut Plain Sutures are available from U.S.P. size 2 to size 4-0.
  • Catgut Plain Sutures are made from longitudinally slitting the intestinal submucosa of sheep and goat followed by a process of twisting and polishing giving the sutures a virtually monofilament finish.
  • Catgut Plain Sutures absorb by simple enzymatic hydrolytic mechanism and absorption is not as predictable as in synthetic sutures. Catgut sutures tend to absorb faster in infected tissues.
  • Catgut Plain Suture strength is usually lost within 15 – 18 days. In humans, various factors may affect the tensile strength loss and rate of absorption.

• Advantages

  • Progut sutures pass through tissues smoothly and also exhibit good knot security.
  • Progut sutures have excellent tensile strength and needle attachment strength.
  • Progut sutures are available with needles made from 300 series alloy steel for superior strength, sharpness and performance.
  • Progut sutures are available at very economical prices.
