Surgical Sutures

What are Surgical Sutures?

Surgical sutures, often called sutures, hold body tissue together after surgery or injury. They are essential for wound closure, promoting healing, and reducing the risk of infection.
Some sutures are absorbable and will break down naturally in the body. Other non-absorbable sutures must be removed by medical personnel after the wound has healed. Absorbable sutures are more commonly used. Uzzmed.com offers natural, absorbable sutures to help patients recover faster.

How do you Choose Surgical Sutures?

Selection of surgical sutures requires consideration of several factors related to the patient, the surgical procedure, and the wound itself. Here are some considerations:
(1) The location of the wound affects the selection of sutures.
(2) Estimated wound healing time and suturing costs.
(3) Surgeon preference and patient sensitivity to suture materials
(4) The selected sutures are easy to use and suitable for the surgical environment.
