Medical Absorbable Plain Catgut Surgical Suture

Siny Manufacturing has been assembling suture-based medical devices for over 20 years. To make this process easier, we have created our own range of production tools. Working with Siny gives you unmatched quality, engineering, experience, and dedication.

We process all suture varieties and materials, including monofilaments and braids that are absorbable or non-absorbable and Medical Absorbable Plain Catgut Surgical Sutures, in all standard sizes.

Surgical sutures are thread-like materials used for wound suturing, tissue ligation, and fixation.

1. Types of sutures

Absorbable sutures:
Made of natural or synthetic materials, they can be gradually absorbed by human tissues in the body without the need for suture removal. Common materials include catgut, polyglycolic acid (PGA), polylactic acid (PLA), etc.
Suitable for suturing tissues in the body, such as the gastrointestinal tract, muscles, subcutaneous tissue, etc. Over time, absorbable sutures are gradually decomposed and absorbed by the human body, reducing patient discomfort and the trouble of suture removal.

Non-absorbable sutures:
Usually made of silk, nylon, polyester, and other materials, they cannot be absorbed in the body and need to be removed after the wound heals.
Commonly used in areas that require strong tension, such as skin sutures and tendon sutures. Non-absorbable sutures have high strength and stability and can provide continuous support during wound healing.

2. Characteristics of sutures

Strength: Sutures need to have sufficient strength to ensure that they will not break during wound healing. Wounds and tissues in different parts require sutures of different strengths.
Flexibility: Good flexibility can make it easier for sutures to pass through tissues and reduce damage to tissues. At the same time, flexibility also helps sutures adapt to tissue movement during wound healing.
Tissue reactivity: The ideal suture should have low tissue reactivity and will not cause obvious inflammatory reactions or foreign body reactions. This helps reduce the risk of wound infection and scar formation.
Operability: Sutures should be easy to operate, including firm knots, and not easy to slip. When choosing sutures, doctors will consider whether their operability meets the requirements of the operation.

3. Application of sutures
Surgery: Sutures are indispensable tools in various surgical operations. Doctors choose appropriate sutures according to the surgical site, tissue type, and the specific conditions of the patient to ensure good wound healing.
Trauma treatment: In the treatment of accidental trauma, sutures can quickly and effectively close wounds to prevent bleeding and infection.
Cosmetic plastic surgery: In cosmetic plastic surgery, the use of fine sutures can reduce scar formation and improve surgical results.

What are the sizes of suture needles?

1/4 circle Suture Needle:

1/2 circle Suture Needle:

It has a large arc to use in confined surgical suture sites; the application area is skin, muscle, peritoneum, eye, abdominal surgery, and gastrointestinal tract.

3/8 circle Suture Needle:

Surgeons use the most common needles in large and superficial wounds, and these needles are impractical for use in deep cavities. This needle finds application in the skin, hand surgery, fascia, muscles, and subcuticular regions.

5/8 circle Suture Needle:

These needles are perfect for deep and confined cavities due to the needle design, which makes maneuvering in a small location easier. Application area: intraoral, urogenital, and anorectal procedures.

J-shaped needle:

Utilizing it for deep incisions avoids causing any injury to the visceral area, and its application extends to the vagina and rectum

It can be used without a needle holder, as is the case with a curvature needle, and there is a high risk of accidentally sticking yourself. It uses an easily accessible tissue, typically in abdominal surgery and rhinoplasty Siny medical Nylon Suture:

Non-absorbable, gradually encapsulated by connective tissue. The thread mass diminishes by approximately 10% a year by rupture of chemical links (hydrolytic action).

Product Features

1. Made with 304 stainless steel, the needle can remain unceasing even after buckling many times.

2. Suture needle can fit in all kinds types of suture thread quickly to thread a needle.

3. sharp tip of needle and good-sticking.
