Catgut sutures typically dissolve within 7 to 21 days, depending on the type of catgut used and the individual's healing process. Chromic catgut, which is treated to slow down absorption, may take longer, generally around 10 to 28 days. It's important to follow post-operative care instructions for optimal healing.
