What are there different types of surtures?

Some of the different suture materials used include polyglycolic acid, catgut, polylactic acid, polydioxanone, caprolactone, etc. Also called resorbable, absorbable sutures are made of polymers.

The ideal suture material is sterile, easy to handle, strong (along all of its length), resistant to infection and cheap. It also has to behave in the way we want it to, in a consistent manner. As you might imagine, it is extremely difficult to manufacture the ‘perfect’ suture, which is why there is a wide variety of materials available which offer unique characteristics.

When we use a suture material in the human body we are implanting a foreign tissue into a host. It follows on, therefore, that a tissue reaction within the host should be expected, and can be either an advantage or a disadvantage.
