ObjectivesAt the end of this teaching session the student
will recognize the following:1. The importance of suture needle design
for performance of different tasks.2. The importance of differences in suture
material for different tasks.
The student will demonstrate the ability to make appropriate needle and suture material selections for different tasks.

Sutures
Why do we care ?
![Page 4: Sutures](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568165ae550346895dd89d47/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Purpose of Suturing
Close the wound and provide
exogenous support of wound during healing.

Wound Healing
How long does it take ?
Healing: week 1 wound tensile strength
15-20% week 12 - 80%

ask!

History Earliest reports of Suture date back the
Ancient Egyptians in 3000 BC Oldest Known Suture was found in a
Mummy from 1100 BC First detailed Description of wound sutures
is from the Indian sage Sushruta in 500 BC Early Suture materials included :fibers from
plants (Flax,Hemp,Cotton) or Animal products (hair,tendon,gut)

History
Lister –routine sterilization of sutures in the late 1800’s
1930’S and 1950’s synthetic sutures (polyesters,polyglycolic acid)
Silk and gut sutures are the only remnants of ancient sutures still in use today

The BASICS
![Page 18: Sutures](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062315/568165ae550346895dd89d47/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Suture Characteristics
Size: Diameter size
indicated by number of zeros
Example :7/0 small, number 2 large

Suture Characteristics
Tensile Strength: Weight required to
break divided by cross sectional area (not same as absorption time)
Strength Matters

Suture Characteristics
Memory Ability suture to
regain original form after tying a knot
Elasticity Ability to regain
original form after stretch.

Suture Selection
Suture & Needle selection depends on tissue type,tension exerted on wound and wound location.

What sutures would you choose and why?
Closure of abdominal wall fascia
Liagation of a blood vessel
Closure of oral mucosa
Subcuticular skin closure
