Ethicon Plain Gut Sutures are absorbable surgical sutures manufactured from purified connective tissue (mostly collagen) derived from healthy sheep or bovine intestine. These natur al sutures are designed to provide reliable tensile strength for short-term wound support, gradually absorbed by the body through enzymatic processes. Plain Gut sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and ligation, except for cardiovascular and neurological tissues. They are particularly useful in procedures where only temporary wound support is required. Available configurations include: FS-2 (19.00mm, 3/8 Circle Needle) – Precision needle suitable for delicate soft tissue closure. X-1 (22.00mm, 1/2 Circle Needle) – Designed for broader tissue bites and versatility in closure. Key Features Absorbable Natural Suture – Made from purified collagen (sheep or bovine intestine).
