sutures

Sutures are stitches used by healthcare providers to close a cut or surgical incision. They hold the edges of a wound together to promote proper healing, reduce infection risk, and improve the appearance of the scar. Sutures can be made from natural or synthetic materials and are placed using a needle and thread. Depending on the wound, they may be removed after a certain period or dissolve on their own as healing progresses. Proper suture technique is essential for effective healing and minimizing complications.
