Netgut® | Catgut Suture
Netgut, a catgut suture renowned for its absorbable and sterile composition, designed for optimal surgical performance. Netgut consist of purified connective tissue, primarily collagen, sourced either from the serosal layer of beef (bovine) or the submucosal fibrous layer of sheep (ovine) intestines.
Notably, chromic catgut undergoes a specialized processing method to enhance resistance to absorption compared to conventional plain sutures. Netgut catgut suture finds its application in general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic procedures.
It is essential to note that catgut suture is not intended for use in cardiovascular and neurological tissues. The Netgut range is available in both chromic and plain varieties, offering surgical flexibility to meet specific procedural needs. Choose Netgut for a reliable and versatile catgut suture, backed by the assurance of quality and sterile composition for diverse surgical applications.
