2 Description Characteristics Indications Contraindications Actions Tensile Strength Absorption Sterilization Packaging PLAIN GUT sutures are absorbable sterile surgical sutures composed of purified connectie tissue (mostly collagen) deried from the serosal layer of beef (boine) intestines. They are packaged in a solution of 89% isopropanol, 10% water and 1% triethanolmaine. The manufacture of catgut raw material, consisting of long ribbons of highly selected serosal tissue, ensures: Purity of collagen for optimal tensile strength and in-io performance Surface smoothness to facilitate knot run-down and knot strength, due to electronic polishing of each strand. PLAIN GUT sutures are indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic surgery, but not in cardioascular or neurological surgery. The use of these sutures is contraindicated in patients with known sensitiities or allergies to collagen or chromium, as gut is a collagen based material and chromic gut is treated with chromic salt solutions. PLAIN GUT sutures elicit a minimal acute inflammatory reaction in tissues characteristic of foreign body response to a substance. This is followed by gradual loss of tensile strength and suture mass, as the enzymatic process dissoles the surgical gut until it is completely absorbed. any ariable factors may affect the rate of tensile strength loss. These include: Type of suture Presence of infection Tissue sites Absorption of PLAIN GUT sutures occurs by enzymatic process similar to the digestion of an animal protein by the body. Being enzymatic, the process is subject to different influencing factors (see aboe) and it is irtually impossible to indicate the exact designation of a consistent absorption time. Gamma irradiation PLAIN GUT absorbable sutures are aailable in and EP sizes 2 (6 metric) through 7-0 (0.7 metric). The sutures are supplied sterile, in pre-cut lengths or ligating reels; non-needled or affixed to arious needle types, using both permanent and remoable needle attachment techniques; in one, two or three dozen boxes.
