Question 1

What are absorbable sutures?

Accepted Answer

Absorbable sutures are surgical sutures that break down over time inside the body after being used to close a wound or incision. Such surgical sutures are made of high-quality materials such as polyester, silk, and nylon. These sutures eliminate the need for a second surgery to remove them.

Nylon sutures are known for their high tensile strength and flexibility, making them ideal for use in cardiovascular and ophthalmic surgeries. Polyester sutures are non-absorbable, making them suitable for use in skin closures and other procedures where long-term support is required.

No, surgical sutures are designed for one-time use only. Reusing them can increase the risk of infection and other complications.
