Ask a question

What is absorbable plain catgut suture used for?

The MacSuture 4-0, 30 inch Absorbable Plain Catgut Suture is primarily used for internal tissue approximation and ligation. Made from natural sheep intestine, this suture is designed to provide effective closure for various surgical procedures, particularly in soft tissues. It is ideal for applications where temporary support is sufficient, such as in gastrointestinal surgeries, gynecological procedures, and general soft tissue repair. Since plain catgut is absorbed by the body over time, it eliminates the need for suture removal, making it a convenient choice for both surgeons and patients. Trust MacSuture to deliver high-quality sutures that promote healing and enhance surgical outcomes.

How long does plain catgut suture last?

Plain catgut sutures, such as the MacSuture 4-0, 30 inch Absorbable Plain Catgut Suture, typically maintain their tensile strength for about 7-10 days before they begin to absorb. Complete absorption usually occurs within 70 days. This makes them suitable for tissues that heal quickly, providing reliable support during the initial healing phase. With MacSuture, you can expect consistent performance, ensuring optimal wound closure without the hassle of suture removal later.

What is the difference between absorbable and non-absorbable sutures?

The main difference between absorbable and non-absorbable sutures lies in their composition and intended use. Absorbable sutures, like the MacSuture 4-0, 30 inch Absorbable Plain Catgut Suture, are designed to be gradually broken down and absorbed by the body, eliminating the need for removal. They are ideal for use in areas where tissues heal quickly. Non-absorbable sutures, however, do not degrade over time and provide long-term support, often requiring surgical removal. MacSuture offers both types, ensuring that surgeons have the right options tailored to the specific needs of each procedure.

What are the advantages of using plain catgut sutures?

Plain catgut sutures offer several advantages, including their natural composition, which is biocompatible and safe for internal use. They provide reliable tensile strength during the critical healing period of about 7-10 days, allowing for effective wound closure. The absorbable nature of these sutures means patients do not have to return for suture removal, improving comfort and reducing the risk of infection. The MacSuture 4-0, 30 inch Absorbable Plain Catgut Suture is designed for optimal handling and performance, making it an excellent choice for various surgical applications. Choose MacSuture for high-quality sutures that enhance patient care and recovery.
