Description

Taper Point Plain Gut Absorbable Suture, Size 0, 27", CT3/FN2 Needle is a sterile surgical suture composed of purified connective tissue primarily derived from the serosal layer of bovine intestines. This natural material consists mainly of collagen, which allows the suture to be rapidly absorbed by the body through enzymatic degradation. 

The taper point needle facilitates smooth penetration through soft tissue, minimizing trauma and allowing precise placement. The CT3/FN2 needle configuration is curved and designed for delicate tissue handling, making it suitable for a variety of surgical procedures requiring fine suture control. 

Absorption of plain gut sutures typically occurs within 7 to 10 days, offering sufficient tensile strength during the initial stages of tissue repair. Due to its rapid absorption profile, this suture is often chosen for tissues that heal quickly and do not require prolonged wound support. The suture’s natural origin may lead to increased tissue reactivity compared to synthetic alternatives.
