Abstract

Sutures are natural or synthetic biomaterial devices used to connect blood vessels and align tissues [1]. Its primary function is to reunite and secure tissues after separation due to surgery or trauma. The purposes of wound closure include erasing the dead space, regular distribution of tension along the deep suture lines, keeping the tractile strength across the wound until the tissue tractile strength is sufficient and aiming to approximate the epithelial portion of the closure. Sutures are the most commonly used material for mechanical wound closure, even though there are other methods like staples, tape, and adhesive [2].
