Ethicon Plain Gut Sutures – Absorbable Surgical Sutures (FS-2, X-1 Needles)

The Ethicon Plain Gut Suture is an absorbable surgical suture made from purified connective tissue, primarily collagen from healthy sheep or bovine intestine. Designed for short-term wound support, it is naturally absorbed by the body through enzymatic processes.

Plain Gut Sutures are indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation (not for cardiovascular or neurological use) and are particularly well-suited for procedures where only temporary closure is required.
