Description
A surgical suture, commonly referred to as stitches, is a medical thread used to close incisions or wounds during surgical procedures.
Sutures play a crucial role in wound healing and tissue approximation, promoting proper recovery and minimizing scarring.
- Surgical sutures are meticulously placed to bring together the edges of a wound, facilitating the healing process by maintaining tissue alignment.
- Sutures are available in a range of materials, including absorbable and non-absorbable options, to suit different surgical needs and timelines.
- Depending on the type of suture used, they may either dissolve over time or require removal after the wound has healed sufficiently.
