It is guaranteed free of BSE and aphthous fever, ensuring the highest safety and efficacy standards.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDSI 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDesigned 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure of gingival flaps - procedures such as gingivectomy, gingivoplasty, or periodontal pocket reduction\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket preservation after tooth extraction\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure of oral mucosal incisions\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft tissue surgeries\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOphthalmic surgeries\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic and reconstructive surgeries\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrthopedic surgeries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures \u0026amp;
