Abstract:Selection of appropriate suture material is important for successful healing; it is based principally on the propertiesof suture, the type of the tissue to be sutured and the condition of the wound. The mechanical and biological propertiesof a suture and the suture’s size should correlate well to type and properties of the tissue to be sutured. Strategy of sutureselection for specific tissues is discussed. Presence of sutures in a wound can increase the rate of infection of the wound. Theseverity of the infect… Show more
