Suture
Probably the largest group of devices implanted in humans and can be
used in skin, muscle, fat, organs and vessels.
Although they seem to be of small concern to the medical community,
few devices have been made of so many different materials
By definition: a suture is a thread that either approxiamates and
maintains tissues until the natural healing process provide sufficient level
of wound strength or compresses blood vessels in order to stop bleeding

Absorbable sutures
Absorbable sutures haveability to be 'absorbed' or decomposed by thee natural reaction of the
body to foreign substances
They are used internally and are designed to lose strength gradually over time by chemical
reactions such as hydrolysis
Itabsorption,
is important to note that not all absorbable sutures have the same resistance level to
but each can be formulated
or treated in order to obtain adesired decomposition rate and be excreted in urine or faeces, or
carbon dioxide in expired air [82-84].
Currently, the most commonly used absorbable sutures are synthetic substances: polyglycolic
acid and polyglactic acid.
Nonabsorbable sutures
Do not lose their tensile strength for a long period of time.
Generally, these sutures are used for closing cutaneous or oral incisions where the sutures can
be easily removed e.g. nylon, braided polyester
