Suture

Features:

• Material: Sutures can be made from various materials, including silk, nylon, and synthetic absorbable or non-absorbable materials.
• Size: Measured in millimeters, suture size determines the thickness of the thread. Smaller numbers indicate thicker sutures.
• Needle: Attached to the suture, the needle is used to pass the thread through the tissue. Needle shape and size vary depending on the surgical procedure.
• Absorbable or Non-Absorbable: Absorbable sutures dissolve over time, while non-absorbable sutures require removal.
• Sterility: Dental sutures are sterilized to prevent infection.
