Covidien Plain Gut Sutures – Absorbable Surgical Sutures (C-14, C-23 Needles)

The Covidien 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 gradually absorbed by the body through natural enzymatic processes.

Plain Gut Sutures are intended for general soft tissue approximation and ligation (not indicated for cardiovascular or neurological use). They provide smooth handling and dependable performance in procedures where only temporary closure is required.

Available Configurations

• C-14 (24mm, 3/8 Circle Needle) – Versatile choice for general tissue closure

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