Description
The Suture, Plain Gut 5-0 1X18 G-3 Double Armed is a sterile, absorbable surgical suture derived from purified connective tissue. It is manufactured from high-quality raw materials, ensuring reliable performance in soft tissue approximation. The suture exhibits high tensile strength, allowing it to maintain wound closure while the healing process progresses.
The suture undergoes a precision polishing process, achieving a uniform diameter that facilitates smooth tissue passage. This minimizes tissue trauma and enhances handling properties. The monofilament nature of the suture reduces capillarity, lowering the risk of bacterial infiltration.
Absorption of Plain Gut 5-0 occurs through enzymatic digestion, typically within 7 to 10 days, depending on tissue conditions and patient-specific factors. This predictable absorption profile makes it suitable for rapidly healing tissues. However, enzymatic degradation can vary in inflammatory environments, potentially affecting tensile retention.
