Surgical sutures play a vital role in the wound healing process after surgeries. The types and prices of surgical sutures vary according to the material used and their specific specifications. Now we will review the types of surgical sutures and the latest prices of surgical sutures in Egypt.

Surgical Sutures:

Surgical sutures are considered one of the most important medical tools that contribute to:

• Accelerating the healing process: by bringing the wound edges closer and speeding up the healing process.
• Reducing the risk of infection: by protecting the open wound from external factors.
• Achieving better cosmetic results: by using appropriate sutures that reduce the effects of wounds and scars.

Types of surgical sutures

Surgical threads vary based on the materials they are made from and the specific uses for each type. Among the most prominent types:

  
Absorbable surgical sutures:
Absorbable sutures are made from materials that the body can absorb by secreting enzymes from the tissues, so there is no need for the patient to remove them after healing.
  
Non-absorbable surgical sutures:
There are types of sutures that the body cannot absorb; the doctor removes them after the wound heals. If used inside the body, the sutures are left and retained within the tissues, as these types are used in slowly healing tissues.
