Sutures are stitches used by doctors and surgeons to hold tissues together after injury or surgery. Ideal suture materials are strong, non-toxic, flexible, prevent fluid penetration, and have predictable absorption rates. Suturing promotes wound healing, prevents complications like infection and hemorrhage, and holds tissues in proper position. Different suture materials, needles, and techniques are used depending on the tissue and surgery. Absorbable synthetic or natural materials dissolve over time, while non-absorbable materials like silk, nylon or polypropylene remain indefinitely.
