Description

Gut Plain Fast Absorbable Suture, size 6-0, 18", with PC-1 needle, is a sterile, absorbable surgical suture composed of purified connective tissue derived from the serosal layer of bovine or ovine intestines. It is classified as a plain surgical gut suture that undergoes minimal treatment, allowing for rapid enzymatic absorption and minimal tissue reaction.

The included PC-1 needle is a precision reverse cutting type, optimized for skin and superficial soft tissue closure. Its 3/8 circle curvature and sharp edge facilitate smooth passage through dense or tough tissues, offering control and precision during suturing. The 18-inch suture length is suitable for small-scale and delicate surgical procedures.

Gut Plain Fast Absorbable Sutures are primarily indicated for skin closure, particularly in rapidly healing tissues. They are frequently used in oral, gynecological, and minor surgical applications where suture removal is not desired, and quick absorption without residual foreign material is beneficial.
