LuxSutures Catgut Plain Absorbable Surgical Sutures are natural absorbable sutures manufactured from purified collagen derived from the serosal layer of selected bovine sources. As a traditional suture material, Catgut Plain offers reliable handling characteristics, dependable knot security, and proven clinical performance in procedures where tissues are expected to heal rapidly.
These sutures are absorbed through enzymatic proteolytic processes, with approximately 50 % tensile strength retention at 7 days and complete absorption typically occurring within 60–70 days. Due to their biological absorption profile, Catgut Plain sutures are particularly suited to general soft tissue approximation and ligation in surgical environments where long-term tensile support is not required.
LuxSutures Catgut Plain sutures are commonly used across a wide range of surgical applications including general surgery, gastrointestinal procedures, gynaecology, obstetrics, urology, and ophthalmic surgery. Available in a comprehensive range of USP sizes and needle configurations, this range supports consistent results in professional hospital and clinical settings.
As part of the LuxSutures portfolio, Catgut Plain sutures deliver trusted, time-proven absorbable performance backed by controlled manufacturing standards and sterile packaging suitable for professional surgical use.
