DemeTECH's Plain Catgut (CP) suture is a monofilament, sterile, absorbable surgical suture carefully crafted from highly purified connective tissue, primarily collagen, sourced from either the serosal layer of Beed (bovine) or the submucosal fibrous layer of sheep (ovine) intestines. Its rapid absorption rate ensures it induces only minimal tissue reaction. The suture's quality is frequently influenced by its collagen content, with higher percentages contributing to superior tensile strength, extended absorption times, and reduced in vivo reactions.
