Plain Catgut Suture (Experience Met Energy)
Natural Absorbable Suture U.S.P. (Sterilized Surgical Needle Suture)
Plain Catgut Suture is a fast-absorbing monofilament natural surgical Gut Suture made by twisting together strand of Collagenous material taken from the submucosal layers of the small intestine of healthy sheep and goat.
Fast absorbing surgical gut suture are sterile and elicit only to a minimal tissue reaction during the absorption. In-house needle manufacturing provides the better needles with optimum sharpness which is finally delivers smooth riding on tissue during suturing.
Indications of Plain Catgut Suture:
Plain catgut suture is naturally absorbable surgical gut suture. Unigut absorb by simple enzymatic mechanism and absorption is not as predictable as in synthetic sutures. Plain Catgut tend to absorb faster in infected tissues. UNIGUT suture initial tensile strength is lost within 7 to 10 days and is absorbed completely in 60 to 70 days. It is non-adhering and biologically inert.
- Gut Suture best use for: General Closure, Obstetrics, Gynecology and Gastro-intestinal tract surgery.
- Ultimate Suture: Fast Healing tissue and Muscles, Soft tissue approximation.
- Plain Catgut meets all the requirements established by the United States Pharmacopoeia for natural absorbable surgical suture.
Can also be supplied in different needle length and suture size combination depending on the requirement.

What is plain catgut?
Plain Catgut (Unigut) is a suture made from strand of Collagenous material prepared from the submucosal layer of small intestine of healthy Sheep or goat. It is fastest absorbable natural suture.
What is catgut used for?
Catgut (Unigut) sutures has high knot-pull tensile strength and due to this excellent handling features, catgut (Unigut)) is used for all the surgical procedures including general closure, ophthalmic, orthopaedics, obstetrics, and gastrointestinal surgery.
Is plain catgut absorbable?
Yes, it is the fastest absorbable natural suture.
Is catgut still used in surgery?
Yes, catgut (Unigut) is used for all the surgical procedures as per the surgeon’s choice.
Is chromic gut suture absorbable?
Yes, it is absorbable natural suture.
Is catgut a monofilament?
It is twisted multifilament structure with a monofilament appearance.
What is a catgut in medicine?
Catgut (Unigut) sutures is a medical device generally used for the closing wounds. Catgut (Unigut) suture is used for all the surgical procedures due to its excellent handling features.
How long does plain gut take to dissolve?
Plain catgut (Unigut plain) suture initial tensile strength is lost within 7 to 10 days and is absorbed completely in 60 to 70 days.
What is catgut made of?
Catgut (Unigut) suture made of strand of Collagenous material prepared from the submucosal layer of small intestine of healthy Sheep or goat.
How long does it take for catgut stitches to dissolve?
Catgut (Unigut) is of two types- Catgut chromic (Unigut Chromic) and Catgut plain (Unigut Plain). Catgut chromic (Unigut Chromic) gets absorbed completely within 60 to 90 days and Catgut plain (Unigut plain) gets absorbed completely within 60 to 70 days.
Is plain gut suture is monofilament or multifilament?
It is twisted multifilament structure with a monofilament appearance.
What is the difference between plain catgut and chromic catgut?
There is not much difference between the plain and chromic catgut (Unigut) other than absorption period and colour. Catgut (Unigut) is a suture made from strand of Collagenous material prepared from the submucosal layer of small intestine of healthy Sheep or goat. Catgut chromic (Unigut Chromic) is treated with chrome salts which will delay the absorption. Catgut chromic (Unigut chromic) gets absorbed completely within 60 to 90 days and Catgut plain (Unigut plain) gets absorbed completely within 60 to 70 days. Catgut chromic (Unigut Chromic) is Brown in colour and Catgut plain (Unigut plain) is undyed or Beige colour.
