Our sutures were made from biological materials, such as catgut suture and silk. The sutures are synthetic, including the absorbable polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, and polydioxanone as well as the non-absorbable nylon and polypropylene. They are the idea of coating sutures with antimicrobial substances to reduce the chances of wound infection. Our Sutures come in very specific sizes and may be either absorbable (naturally biodegradable in the body) or non-absorbable. Sutures must be strong enough to hold tissue securely but flexible enough to be knotted. They must be hypoallergenic and avoid the "wick effect" that would allow fluids and thus infection to penetrate the body along the suture tract.
