Sutures

Sutures

Sutures are specialized threads used to close wounds or surgical incisions, and they are an essential part of Surgical & Exam Supplies. Surgeons, doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals use sutures to help tissues heal properly after procedures or injuries. This category includes a range of products like needle and suture combinations, individual suture strands, and multi-pack options. You will find both absorbable sutures, which dissolve over time, and nonabsorbable sutures, which need to be removed later. Options include monofilament and braided types, as well as barbed sutures for specific surgical needs. Sutures come in different materials, such as synthetic or natural, and may be coated, dyed, or offered in various colors and finishes. Common examples are chromic gut sutures, nylon sutures, and polydioxanone (PDS) sutures. These products are available in different packaging sizes, from single units to bulk packs, to suit the needs of clinics, hospitals, and surgical centers.
