Ethicon suture material :

Surgical sutures may be classified in a few diverse ways. To begin with, suture fabric can be classified as either absorbable or non absorbable.

Absorbable suture : These are made of natural materials that degrade when they come into contact with the skin. Nowadays, the most common material is chromic catgut. The material naturally degrades after 7 days, but it is sprayed with chromium salts to speed up the process and keep it strong for up to 2 weeks.

Non absorbable suture : Silk, cotton, steel, nylon, Prolene, and Mersilene are among the materials used. The time it takes to remove a suture varies based on the situation, but it tends to follow a basic pattern depending on where the sutures are placed. Face sutures, for example, are removed in 3 to 4 days, whereas scalp and trunk sutures are removed in 5 to 7 days.

A number of different materials, shapes and sizes of Ethicon Sutures are available for a medical professional to select from while suturing a surgical incision, internal organ, blood vessel, laceration or wound. Sutures are used in all fields of surgery including obstetrics and gynecology, cardio thoracic, ophthalmology, urology, plastic surgery, orthopedics etc.
