suture material

Suture material refers to the special threads used by healthcare professionals to close wounds or surgical incisions. These threads can be made from various materials, including natural fibers like silk or animal collagen, or synthetic substances like nylon and polyester. The choice depends on the wound type, healing time, and tissue involved. Some sutures dissolve over time and don’t need removal, while others are designed to be permanent or removable. Proper suture selection ensures the wound heals properly, minimizes scarring, and reduces risk of infection.
