Catgut is soaked in alcohol to help sterilize the material and prevent infection when used in medical procedures. The alcohol helps to kill any bacteria present on the catgut, reducing the risk of introducing harmful pathogens into the body during surgery or other medical interventions.
CatGut (typically a form of suture material) is made mostly from sheep or goat intestine's, but it can be made from cattle, swine or equine intestines.
