ORIGUT (Plain Catgut) is a fast absorbing surgical gut suture made from strand of collage nous material prepared from the sub mucosal layers of the small intestine of healthy sheep. Fast absorbing surgical gut sutures are sterile and elicit only a slight to minimal tissue reaction during absorption

Type : Twisted multifilament with a monofilament appearance
Material : None
Color : Beige
Tissue reaction : Moderate. Plain catgut enjoys lower tissue reaction
Absorption : By phagocytosis. Complete mass absorption in approximately 65 days.
Approximately 50% of tensile strength remains after 7 days. When used in
infected tissues or in tissues with increased levels of proteolytic enzymes
(stomach, cervix,and vagina) it is more quickly absorbed.
Tensile Strength : Tensile strength is retained for 7 - 14 days.
USP Range : 5/0 - 3
Sterilization : EO (Ethylene Oxide)
Needle Type : Round bodied, cutting edge, taper point, straight, blunt point
Packing : In aluminium foil packages with or without needle
