Description
The Surgical Gut Suture, Plain, Size 6-0, 18", with G-1 Reverse Cutting Needle is an absorbable suture composed of purified collagen derived from the serosal layer of bovine intestines. As a natural absorbable material, plain gut is designed for short-term tissue support where fast absorption is desirable.
The G-1 needle is a reverse cutting needle with a 3/8 circle curvature, specifically designed to penetrate dense and fibrous tissues such as skin. Its cutting edge on the outer curve enhances needle stability and reduces the risk of tissue tearing, ensuring precise placement and efficient suturing in delicate anatomical areas.
Plain gut sutures elicit a predictable inflammatory response, which facilitates enzymatic absorption typically completed within 7 to 10 days. Due to their short-term tensile strength, these sutures are most appropriate for use in superficial soft tissue closure where extended support is not necessary.
