Description

Fast-Absorbing Closure With No Removal Appointment

Bioviva Plain Gut is a natural absorbable suture for closures that need roughly a week of support and no removal visit. Untreated collagen absorbs faster than chromic, which is exactly what you want on simple extractions, hemostatic closure, and pediatric cases where a follow-up appointment is unlikely to happen.

Six needle and size configurations are offered, each armed with an AISI 300 series stainless steel needle and supplied 12 per box.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Fast absorption: Untreated collagen breaks down enzymatically over roughly one week.
  • No removal appointment: Ideal for pediatric patients and anyone unlikely to return.
  • AISI 300 stainless steel needles: Consistent sharpness and smooth tissue passage.
  • Six configurations: C-3, C-6, C-7 and C-31 needles, 3-0 through 5-0, in 18" and 27" lengths.
  • Sterile, individually packaged: 12 per box.
  • Cost-effective closure: Priced for routine, high-volume use.

Clinical Applications

  • Simple extractions and routine socket closure
  • Pediatric dentistry
  • Hemostatic closure where short-term support is sufficient
  • Mucosal approximation
  • Cases where a suture-removal visit is impractical

Why Choose Bioviva Plain Gut

Plain gut is a commodity in the best sense — what separates good from poor is needle quality and packaging consistency, not the thread. Bioviva specifies AISI 300 stainless steel needles and individual sterile packaging, at a price that makes it practical as your routine closure suture rather than something you ration.

What's Included

  • 12 individually packaged sterile plain gut sutures per box
  • Each strand pre-armed with a stainless steel needle in the configuration selected

Warranty and Support

Supplied sterile and single-use. Manufactured by 3D Dental Designs and Development. DentalMarketplace coordinates fulfillment and support, backed by our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How fast does plain gut absorb?

A: Roughly one week of useful wound support before enzymatic breakdown, though this varies with site, patient, and local inflammation.

Q: When should I choose plain gut over chromic gut?

A: When the closure needs about a week of support — simple extractions, mucosal approximation, pediatric cases. Choose chromic for flaps, grafts, and surgical extractions that need two to three weeks.

Q: What is plain gut made from?

A: Purified collagen from the submucosal layer of sheep intestine or the serosal layer of beef, without the chromium treatment applied to chromic gut.

Q: Do these need to be removed?

A: No. They absorb on their own, which is a large part of why they are chosen for pediatric patients.

Q: What do the needle codes mean?

A: C-3, C-6, C-7 and C-31 identify the needle geometry — curvature, length, and point type. Each variant in this listing states the needle code, suture size, and length so you can match your usual preference.

Q: What needles are used?

A: AISI 300 series stainless steel, selected for needle integrity, sharpness, and smooth insertion through soft tissue.

Q: How many come in a box?

A: Twelve, each individually packaged and supplied sterile.

Q: Can plain gut be used for periodontal flap closure?

A: It can, but chromic gut is usually the better choice for flaps because the extended support window better matches flap healing.

Q: How should it be stored?

A: At controlled room temperature in the original sealed packaging. Do not use if the package is opened or damaged.

Q: Is a dental license required to purchase?

A: Yes. Sutures require dental license verification at checkout under FDA professional-use distribution requirements.
