c-tec CATGUT plain

COMPOSITION

c-tec CATGUT plain is produced from the submucosa of the sheep gut or the serosa of beef gut. A special manufacturing process secures the extraction of gut strands of highest collagen purity. These are twisted, dried and then calibrated electronically to a uniform diameter.

CHARACTERISTICS

c-tec CATGUT plain distinguishes itself through constant diameter and homogeneous tensile strength. The suppleness of the thread is granted by an alcohol preservation solution which facilitates a precise knotting. The degradation of the c-tec CATGUT plain thread takes place through enzymatic proteolysis. 
The resorption of c-tec CATGUT plain is completed within 7-12 days.

INDICATION

Approximation of soft tissues and ligatures. Low tissue Reaction.

CONTRAINDICATION

Not to be used for sutures which undergo long-term mechanical tension. Not to be used in nervous tissues or in sutures of the blood circulation system. Not to be used in case of known hypersensitivity to collagen.
