Sutures Plain Gut | Covidien

Covidien Plain Gut Sutures are absorbable surgical sutures made from purified connective tissue, primarily collagen from healthy sheep or bovine intestine. Designed for short-term wound support, they are gradually absorbed by the body through enzymatic processes.

These sutures are intended for general soft tissue approximation and ligation (not for cardiovascular or neurological use). They provide dependable performance in procedures where only temporary wound support is required.

Available configurations include:

• C-14 (24mm, 3/8 Circle Needle) – For versatile, general tissue closure with smooth handling.

• C-23 (24mm, 1/2 Circle Needle) – For deeper tissue bites and broader applications.

• Needle Options – C-14 (3/8 circle) and C-23 (1/2 circle).
