DSI Plain Catgut is an absorbable suture crafted from purified strands of collagen sourced from bovine intestines. It is guaranteed free of BSE and aphthous fever, ensuring the highest safety and efficacy standards.

DSI Plain Catgut features a unique structure that combines the best of both multifilament and monofilament properties, enabling you to create knots with unparalleled tensile strength. This makes it the ideal choice for procedures where secure closure is paramount.

What sets DSI Plain Catgut apart is its absorption process. Through phagocytosis, the suture gradually breaks down into smaller components, which are then reabsorbed by the body within 50 to 60 days. However, during this period, it retains its full tensile strength for up to two weeks, providing reliable support during the critical stages of healing.

Designed for use on tissues that heal rapidly and internal structures where suture removal is impractical, DSI Plain Catgut offers surgeons a versatile and dependable solution for a wide range of procedures.

Indications:

• Closure of gingival flaps - procedures such as gingivectomy, gingivoplasty, or periodontal pocket reduction
  
• Socket preservation after tooth extraction
  
• Closure of oral mucosal incisions
  
• Soft tissue surgeries
  
• Ophthalmic surgeries
  
• Plastic and reconstructive surgeries
  
• Orthopedic surgeries

Features & Benefits:

• Absorbability - Plain gut sutures are absorbable, they are broken down and metabolized by the body over time, eliminating the need for suture removal
• Biodegradability - Derived from natural sources, plain gut sutures are biodegradable, reducing the risk of foreign body reactions and promoting natural tissue healing
• Simplified post-operative care - A predictable absorption profile simplifies post-operative care planning and reduces the need for frequent follow-up visits
• Tensile Strength - Exhibits adequate initial tensile strength to hold wound edges together during the early stages of healing, providing secure wound closure
• Capillarity - minimal capillarity, reducing the risk of fluid wicking along the suture line and promoting a dry wound environment
• Knot security - Offers excellent knot security when tied properly, ensuring reliable wound closure
• Minimal tissue reaction - Generally elicits minimal tissue reaction, reducing the risk of inflammation or adverse tissue responses
• Smooth surface - reduces tissue trauma during suturing and minimizes the risk of tissue irritation
• Versatility - Plain Gut sutures can be used in a wide range of surgical procedures across different specialties due to their versatility and compatibility with various tissue types
• Sterilize packaging - Each suture is individually packaged and sterilized to ensure compliance with medical standards and reduce the risk of surgical site infections
• New needle - Equipped with a new improved atraumatic needle for less friction and tissue irritation
