Fast Absorbing Gut Surgical Suture is a plain gut suture that has been heat treated to enable rapid absorption. It is primarily used for dermal (skin) suturing, where effective wound support is only required for five to seven days. They should be utilized only for external knot tying procedures.

Our highest performing suture needles for the most demanding surgical procedures.

Needle maintains shape and sharpness 3X longer than regular needles.

Ultra sharp Precision Point needles provide clean penetration with minimal drag for delicate procedures.

MULTICUT needle technology to ensure excellent tissue penetration and control, cut after cut.

Needles crafted from UNIALLOY - a reinforced AISI 300 series stainless steel that provides the highest ductility and bending strength.

Fast Absorbing Gut is rapidly absorbed and elicits minimal tissue reactions.

Tensile strength is maintained for up to 7 days.

Absorption is complete within 42 days.

Ideal for tissues which heal rapidly and require minimal support.

Predictable absorption profile.

Thread type: Monofilament

Color: Beige

Strength duration: 5-7 days

Absorb duration: 21-42 days

Product Advantages:

Rapid Absorption: Fast absorbable gut sutures are designed to be absorbed by the body quickly, usually within 7 to 10 days. This rapid absorption minimizes the need for suture removal, which is especially beneficial in pediatric or sensitive patients where re-opening wounds for suture removal may cause unnecessary discomfort or complications.

Minimizes Risk of Infection: As the suture is absorbed quickly, there is less opportunity for the suture to act as a foreign body, thus reducing the risk of infection, especially in tissues that are prone to contamination or where healing happens relatively fast.

Biocompatibility: Made from purified collagen derived from animal intestines (often sheep or cattle), fast absorbable gut sutures are highly biocompatible and less likely to trigger an adverse immune response, making them suitable for use in a wide range of patients.

Natural Material: As they are made from a natural source, fast absorbable gut sutures have excellent handling properties, making it easier for surgeons to manipulate and tie knots during surgery. The material also provides good tensile strength during the initial wound healing phase.

Avoids Follow-Up for Removal: Because they dissolve on their own, these sutures are highly convenient for patients who may not be able to return for follow-up visits to remove stitches, such as in rural or under-served areas, or for patients with mobility restrictions.

Product Characteristics:

Made from Collagen: Fast absorbable gut sutures are made from the submucosal layers of the intestines of sheep or cattle, which is processed into strands of collagen. This natural material is treated and sterilized for safe use in surgery.

Absorption Time: These sutures are designed to lose tensile strength within the first week and are typically absorbed by the body within 10 days. The rate of absorption can vary depending on factors like patient health, wound location, and the presence of infection.

Sterile and Pre-Packaged: Fast absorbable gut sutures are provided in sterile, single-use packages to ensure the highest level of safety during surgical procedures, reducing the risk of contamination.

Tensile Strength: While fast absorbable gut sutures offer good initial tensile strength, they lose most of it after the first few days, making them ideal for tissues that heal quickly, such as mucosal layers or tissues that do not require long-term suture support.

Flexible and Smooth Handling: These sutures are easy to work with because of their smooth texture and flexibility, allowing for precise knotting and positioning, which is critical in delicate surgical procedures.

Variety of Sizes: Fast absorbable gut sutures come in various sizes, allowing surgeons to choose the best size depending on the type of tissue being sutured and the specific needs of the procedure.

Use Cases:

Gynecological surgeries, particularly in areas like the cervix, where tissue heals quickly.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeries, such as in the mouth or gums, where sutures need to be absorbed before exposure to food and liquids increases the risk of irritation or infection.

Pediatric surgeries, where absorbable sutures eliminate the need for follow-up removal and help minimize patient discomfort.

Subcutaneous tissue closures, where fast healing is expected and long-term suture support is unnecessary.
