Non-Absorbable Sutures
Non-absorbable sutures are surgical threads that do not dissolve in the body over time. They are made from materials like silk, nylon, or polypropylene, which provide long-lasting support for wound closure. These sutures are often used in areas where strength is crucial, such as in orthopedic or cardiac surgeries.
Because they remain in the body, non-absorbable sutures may require removal after the tissue has healed. They are also used in internal applications where permanent support is needed, such as in certain types of hernia repairs. Proper selection of suture type is essential for effective healing.
