Frequently Asked Questions
4 questionsSurgical sutures are absorbable or non-absorbable, and monofilament or braided. Absorbable sutures break down in the body over time, while non-absorbable sutures remain and may require removal.
Absorbable sutures are broken down by the body and do not need removal, suiting internal tissues. Non-absorbable sutures retain strength long-term and are often used for skin or structures needing lasting support.
Suture size follows the USP scale, where more zeros mean a thinner strand. For example, 5-0 is thinner than 2-0. Thinner sutures are used for delicate tissue.
BKMedStore carries sutures from Ethicon, including the Vicryl line, along with other major manufacturers across absorbable and non-absorbable types.
