The advantages of different materials of suture are analyzed as follows:

1.Absorbable suture thread

Catgut suture

Advantages:

The raw materials are easily available and the prices are cheap.

It has absorbability and avoids the pain of removing stitches.

Chemical synthesis lines (PGA, PGLA, PLA, etc.)

Advantages:

After implantation, it is hydrolyzed and absorbed, with stable absorption, usually within 60-90 days.

The fibers have good flexibility, high knot strength, and good elasticity, knotting and knot holding properties.

The coating may add chemical components and pose a hidden danger of incomplete pre embedded absorption.

2.Non absorbable suture

Silk thread (silk thread or real silk thread)

Advantages:

High strength, suitable for wounds with relatively high tension.

The price is relatively low.

The woven thread has good softness and is not easy to slip when knotted.

Polypropylene (PP) thread

Advantages:

Completely unabsorbable, but maintains strength for a long time.

Higher strength and good operational performance.

3.Other types of sutures

Metal wire

Advantages:

Good biocompatibility, less likely to cause tissue rejection and allergies.

High durability, able to withstand greater pressure and tension.

PDO (PPDO) suture

Advantages:

Good flexibility, can be made into various sizes of monofilament suture.

The retention rate of strength within the body is high..

Different materials of stitching have their own advantages and disadvantages. When choosing surgical suture, doctors need to comprehensively consider factors such as surgical type, wound location, patient condition, and suture material, absorption, and tensile strength. Absorbable sutures are suitable for surgeries that do not require long-term tension support, while non absorbable sutures are more suitable for wounds with high tension that require long-term tension maintenance. In addition, factors such as the thickness of the suture, weaving method, and friction coefficient can also affect wound healing and surgical operation, so comprehensive consideration is also needed.
