PLAIN GUT sutures are absorbable sterile surgical sutures composed of purified connective tissue (mostly collagen) derived from the serosal layer of beef (bovine) intestines. They are packaged in a solution of 89% isopropanol, 10% water and 1% triethanolmaine. The manufacture of catgut raw material, consisting of long ribbons of highly selected serosal tissue, ensures: Purity of collagen for optimal tensile strength and in-vivo performance; Suture smoothness to facilitate knot run-down and knot strength, due to electronic polishing of each strand. PLAIN GUT sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic surgery, but not in cardiovascular or neurological surgery.

Has a spring-located blunt stylet mechanism. The stylet retracts as the needle is pushed through the abdominal wall and automatically advances once the peritoneum has been penetrated. It is recommended to use USP suture size 2-0 or 0.

May be used for transection of large or small bowel, stomach and lung tissue, anastomosis of bowel to bowel, or stomach to bowel, when such use it consistent with this labeling and that of the disposable loading units used with this device. In addition, there must be adequate vascularization and normal healing criteria present to ensure normal, healthy tissue.
