Short Description:
Fast absorbing gut surgical suture is a heat‑treated plain gut monofilament made from purified collagen of sheep or cattle intestine. Intended for dermal (skin) suturing and for external knot tying only; provides short‑term wound support.

Product Description:
Plain fast absorbing gut is processed to enable rapid absorption while maintaining initial tensile strength for approximately 5–7 days. Thread: monofilament, color: beige. Sterile, single‑use packaging. Available in multiple sizes and thread lengths to suit clinical requirements. Compatible with high‑performance surgical needles designed for clean penetration and reliable handling.

Product Advantages:

• Rapid absorption profile appropriate for tissues that heal quickly, reducing need for suture removal.
• Reduced foreign‑body exposure time, which can lower infection risk in contaminated or rapidly healing wounds.
• High biocompatibility: manufactured from purified animal collagen to minimize adverse immune reactions.
• Good handling and knot security typical of natural monofilament gut in initial healing phase.
• Convenient for pediatric patients or cases where follow‑up removal is impractical.

Product Characteristics:

• Composition: purified collagen from submucosal/serosal layers of sheep or cattle intestine, processed and sterilized.
• Thread type: monofilament (plain gut).
• Color: beige.
• Tensile support: maintained for approximately 5–7 days.
• Absorption: typical complete absorption within 21–42 days (variable by tissue and patient factors).
• Needles: options include Precision Point, MULTICUT technology; needles manufactured from UNIALLOY (reinforced AISI 300 series stainless steel) for ductility and bending strength.
• Packaging: sterile, pre‑packaged, single‑use.
• Sizes/lengths: multiple suture sizes and thread lengths (e.g., 45–150 cm) and custom lengths.

Use Cases:

• Dermal/skin closures where short‑term support is sufficient.
• Oral and maxillofacial procedures requiring early absorption.
• Gynecological procedures on rapidly healing tissues.
• Pediatric surgery to avoid routine suture removal visits.
• Subcutaneous closures where long‑term support is not required.
