Description
The Endure Absorbable Plain CATGUT Suture is a sterile surgical suture composed of purified connective tissue derived from the serosal layer of the bovine intestine or submucosal layer of the ovine intestine. Packed in isopropyl alcohol to keep the suture soft, flexible and improve handling. These sutures tend to absorb faster in infected tissues.
