suturing materials

Suturing materials are specialized threads used by medical professionals to close wounds and help them heal properly. They come in various types, made from natural fibers like silk or horsehair, or synthetic options such as nylon, polyester, or absorbable materials like polyglycolic acid. Some sutures are designed to dissolve over time and don’t require removal, while others are intended to be removed after healing. The choice depends on the wound’s location, tension, and healing time needed. Proper suturing helps minimize infection, promote healing, and restore function effectively.
