What's in the Box

• 1 Sterile Pack of NUVOGUT Chromic Catgut Absorbable Surgical Suture

NUVOGUT is a sterile, natural, absorbable surgical suture manufactured from purified collagen strands obtained from the serosal layer of selected bovines and treated with chrome salts. The twisted multifilament construction with a monofilament appearance provides smooth tissue passage, dependable knot security, and reliable handling during surgical procedures requiring medium-term wound support.

The chromic treatment delays absorption, allowing the suture to retain tensile strength for a longer period before being absorbed through phagocytosis. Complete mass absorption occurs in approximately 90 days, although absorption may be accelerated in infected tissues or tissues with high proteolytic enzyme activity, such as the stomach, cervix, and vagina. Manufactured by Nuvo Medsurg Private Limited, NUVOGUT is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic surgery, but is not intended for cardiovascular or neurological procedures.

FAQs

1. What is NUVOGUT made of?

NUVOGUT is manufactured from purified collagen strands obtained from the serosal layer of selected bovines and treated with chrome salts to extend absorption time.

2. How long does NUVOGUT take to absorb?

The suture is absorbed through phagocytosis, with complete mass absorption occurring in approximately 90 days.

3. What is the advantage of chromic treatment?

Chromic treatment slows the absorption process, allowing the suture to provide longer wound support than plain catgut sutures.

4. Where is NUVOGUT commonly used?

NUVOGUT is indicated for general soft tissue approximation and ligation, including ophthalmic surgery, but is not recommended for cardiovascular or neurological surgery.

5. How long does NUVOGUT retain its strength?

The suture retains approximately 50% tensile strength after 14 days and 20% after 28 days.

6. Is NUVOGUT sterile?

Yes. Every NUVOGUT suture is sterilized using Ethylene Oxide (EO) and supplied sterile for single use.

7. What USP sizes are available?

NUVOGUT is available in a USP size range of 5-0 to 2, with variants including 2-0 (3 Metric), 1-0 (3.5 Metric), 1 (4 Metric), and 2 (5 Metric).

8. Why is NUVOGUT suitable for prolonged wound support?

The chrome salt treatment delays absorption by phagocytosis, providing dependable tensile strength and extended tissue support during the healing period.
