This category includes single-strand, synthetic sutures made from bioabsorbable polyester designed to close soft-tissue wounds or incisions. They provide temporary wound support while the tissue heals, gradually dissolving through hydrolysis and eliminating the need for suture removal.
These antimicrobial sutures are intended for single-use only and may come with disposable tools like needles or passers. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are typically classified based on their absorption rate and intended use rather than material alone.
