- Sutures are designed to
help the healing of the body by closely opposing the two sides of a
wound to minimize scar formation or to prevent leaking blood, like in
vessels.
- Absorbable sutures are
made of materials which are broken down in tissue after a given period
of time, which depending on the suture can be from ten days to four
weeks. They are used therefore in many of the inner tissues of the
body.
- Absorbable sutures were
originally made of the intestines of sheep, the so called catgut. The
manufacturing process was similar to that of natural musical strings for
violins and guitars, and also of natural strings for tennis
racquets.
- The major part of the
absorbable sutures used are now made of synthetic polymer fibers, which
may be braided or monofilament; these offer numerous advantages over gut
sutures, notably ease of handling, low cost, low tissue reaction,
consistent performance and guaranteed non-toxicity.
- Non absorbable sutures are
made of materials which are not metabolized by the body, and are used
therefore either on skin wound closure, where the sutures can be removed
after a few weeks, or in some inner tissues in which absorbable sutures
are not adequate.
- There are several
materials used for non absorbable sutures. The most common is a natural
fiber, silk, which undergoes a special manufacturing process to make it
adequate for its use in surgery.
- The sutures were
originally manufactured ranging from #1 to #6, with # 1 being the
smallest. The manufacturing techniques, derived at the beginning from
the production of musical strings, did not allow thinner
diameters.
- In recent years, topical
cyanoacrylate adhesives have been used in combination with, or as
an alternative to, sutures in wound closure. The adhesive remains liquid
until exposed to water or water-containing substances/tissue, after
which it cures and forms a flexible film that bonds to the underlying
surface.
