suture materials

Suture materials are threads used by healthcare professionals to close wounds or surgical incisions, helping tissues heal together. They come in various types, such as absorbable sutures that break down naturally in the body, and non-absorbable sutures that need removal after healing. Materials can be natural, like silk or cotton, or synthetic, like nylon or polypropylene, chosen based on the wound’s location, tension, and healing time. Proper suture selection ensures secure wound closure, minimizes infection risk, and promotes optimal healing outcomes.
