New Technology in suture Manufacturing
Nowadays using of the suture replaces by stapler or other skin closure materials. New invention comes, but suture remains its places
The suture made of monofilament to reduce infection and tissue damage with the antibacterial coating etc. Many of the new innovation and technique using suture material for a better outcome
New bioabsorbable suture material includes self-reinforced Poly-L-Lactide (SR-PLLA), which result in longer retention of tensile strength. When compared to other types of suture
In the degree of suture, PH plays an important role. The lactide epsilon caprolactone copolymer whose degradation not affected by the changes in PH.
Antimicrobial
Antimicrobial coating with sterile bioactive glass coating to develop bone like hydroxyl appetite crystal formation around the suture. The coating activates when reacting with body fluids
Impregnation of silver to suture along with bioactive glass coating also gives good result in good antibacterial properties
Suture with the triclosan coating with enhancing the antimicrobial property
