Absorbable Catgut Suture - Biodegradable High Strength Surgical Suture for Wound Closure

Absorbable Catgut Suture – Biodegradable, High Strength for Surgical Wound Closure

The Absorbable Catgut Suture is a highly effective and biodegradable suture material, traditionally used for surgical wound closure and soft tissue repairs. Made from natural collagen fibers, it is designed to provide temporary support to the tissue while gradually being absorbed by the body. Ideal for both internal and external use, Catgut sutures offer a safe and reliable solution for a variety of surgical applications.

Catgut is known for its high tensile strength, biocompatibility, and predictable absorption rate, making it an essential tool in surgeries such as gynecological, oral, and general surgeries. The biodegradable nature of the suture eliminates the need for removal, reducing the risk of post-surgical complications and improving patient comfort during recovery.

Key Features & Advantages:

Biodegradable and Absorbable:

Made from natural collagen sourced from animal intestines, Absorbable Catgut Sutures are naturally absorbed by the body, usually within 60-90 days, depending on the specific conditions and tissue type. This eliminates the need for a second surgical procedure to remove the sutures.

High Tensile Strength:

The material has a high initial tensile strength, offering effective support for tissue healing during the critical early stages of recovery. As the suture gradually absorbs, it provides the necessary support until the tissue is strong enough to hold on its own.

Smooth, Non-reactive Surface:

Catgut sutures are known for their smooth surface which minimizes friction during insertion and reduces tissue trauma, ensuring a smoother surgical procedure and faster recovery. Additionally, it is non-reactive, reducing the risk of inflammation or allergic reactions.

Biocompatibility:

Made from natural collagen, Absorbable Catgut Sutures are highly biocompatible, making them ideal for use in internal organs and delicate tissues. This ensures a low risk of adverse reactions, reducing the likelihood of infection and inflammation.

Versatility in Surgical Applications:

Catgut sutures are suitable for a wide range of surgical specialties, including general surgery, gynecology, orthopedic surgery, and oral surgery. Its ability to safely dissolve in the body makes it ideal for situations where suture removal could be difficult or impractical.

Predictable Absorption Rate:

The absorption rate of Catgut sutures is predictable, allowing for accurate timing in tissue healing. The suture's absorption is typically complete within 60 to 90 days, providing the necessary support until the wound has fully healed.

Applications & Usage:

The Absorbable Catgut Suture is widely used in various types of surgical procedures. Some of its key applications include:

General Surgery:
Catgut sutures are commonly used for wound closure, incision repair, and soft tissue repairs in general surgery. They are particularly useful for abdominal surgeries, gastrointestinal repairs, and other internal procedures where internal stitches are required.

Gynecological Surgeries:
These sutures are frequently used in cesarean sections (C-sections), hysterectomies, and other gynecological surgeries due to their natural absorption and biocompatibility with sensitive tissues.

Oral Surgery:
In oral surgery, Catgut sutures are used for soft tissue repairs following dental extractions, gum surgeries, and oral mucosa procedures. Their quick absorption makes them ideal for areas like the mouth, where suture removal could be cumbersome.

Orthopedic Surgery:
Catgut sutures are effective in soft tissue repairs around bones, such as in ligament repair or tendon repairs, where the material’s high initial strength is beneficial during the early stages of healing.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery:
Ideal for reconstructive and cosmetic surgeries, Catgut sutures offer smooth handling and reduced risk of scarring, making them a popular choice for aesthetic procedures.
