Absorbable sutures are a vital component in surgical procedures, especially when temporary wound support is required as the body heals. Unlike non-absorbable sutures, these are designed to break down and be absorbed by the body over time, eliminating the need for removal.
Characteristics of Absorbable Sutures
Absorbable sutures are primarily made from natural materials like catgut or synthetic polymers such as polyglycolic acid (PGA), polylactic acid (PLA), and polydioxanone (PDO). These materials are biocompatible, ensuring minimal tissue reaction while providing the necessary tensile strength for wound healing.
When to Use Absorbable Sutures?
Absorbable sutures are ideal for internal tissues and organs, where suture removal is impractical. They are commonly used in:
- Gastrointestinal surgeries
- Urological procedures
- Obstetrics and gynecological surgeries
- Pediatric surgeries
