Highlights

  • In surgeries involving ligaments, stents, nerves and sutures, braided sutures are usually used [1,2]

  • During the past few year’s sutures made from polylactic acid fibers has gained importance in surgeries owing to their striking properties like biocompatibility, biodegradability, and harmlessness

  • PLA sutures could degrade automatically and be assimilated by body along with wound healing, so it is not necessary to take the stitches out, which made the patients escape from the pain of removing stitches secondary [8,9,10]
