Description

The Express Gut Plain Suture, 5-0, PC-1, 18 is a surgical suture commonly used for delicate and fine tissue closures in medical procedures. This suture is composed of plain (undyed) surgical gut material, which is derived from the connective tissue of sheep intestines.

The 5-0 size indicates the thickness of the suture, with finer numbers representing thinner sutures suitable for delicate tissues. The PC-1 designation refers to the needle type, with PC (Precision Cosmetic) needles designed for cosmetic and plastic surgery applications.

With a length of 18 inches, this suture provides flexibility and maneuverability during surgical procedures, particularly those requiring precise and intricate closure of tissues.

Express Gut Plain Suture is absorbable, meaning it naturally breaks down in the body over time, eliminating the need for suture removal. It is widely used in plastic surgery, ophthalmic procedures, and other surgeries where fine and absorbable sutures are required for optimal wound healing.
