Description
LOOK™ Plain Gut sutures provide clinicians with a natural absorbable option for short-term intraoral wound support. Manufactured from first-quality raw catgut and precision polished to a uniform diameter, these sutures offer smooth tissue passage, secure knotting, and rapid resorption in the oral environment.
As part of the LOOK™ gut suture family (available in both plain and chromic), Plain Gut is ideal when only very short-lived support is needed and suture removal is not desired.
Key Features
Natural absorbable suture made from purified collagen (catgut).
Rapid resorption — typically loses 50% tensile strength within 24 hours, 100% by day 3; largely resorbed by 7–10 days.
First-quality raw material for dependable performance and high initial tensile strength.
Precision polished to a uniform diameter for smooth passage through tissue.
Excellent knot security and reliable handling characteristics.
Twisted construction packaged in a wetting solution to maintain suppleness.
Available in both plain and chromic catgut options (this listing: Plain Gut).
Material & Construction
Material: Purified collagen from healthy animal intestines (catgut).
