A plain gut suture is a type of surgical suture made from collagen derived from the submucosa of the small intestine of sheep or cattle. It is absorbable, meaning it will break down in the body over time, so it does not need to be removed after a certain period. Plain gut sutures are commonly used for soft tissue approximation in surgeries.
