Absorbable surgical sutures are internal stitches which can be dissolved naturally by body. Unlike non dissolvable sutures that require a follow-up procedure for removal, these self absorbing sutures broken down gradually through the body’s enzymes or hydrolysis process. They are particularly useful for internal tissues or areas where suture removal is challenging. What makes absorbable sutures stand out is their reliability. They provide consistent performance, making them a trusted choice for surgeons.
But absorbable skin sutures are more than just convenient. They help reduce patient discomfort, eliminate the need for suture removal, minimize follow-up visits, and ultimately improve surgical outcomes. These qualities make them an essential surgical instruments in various surgeries and wound suturing procedures.
Polyglycolic acid stures are absorbable surgical sutures manufactured from braided coated polyglycolic acid.
Britech polydioxanone absorbable sutures are for long-lasting support during the healing process.
Catgut sutures are natural absorbable surgical threads consisting of purified collagen, usually obtained from bovine or sheep intestines.
Polyglactin is a most widely used absorbable suture because of its predictable absorption rate, it’s easy to handle and safe to knot.
PGA rapid is a fast absorbable suture which will be dissolved faster than standard PGA suture.
Chromic catgut sutures are widely used in general surgery, gynecology, dental, and veterinary applications
