Suture material is a critical dental supply product used in dental and other surgery. Suturing wounds creates proper closure for optimal healing.
Sutures are always sterile, vary in thickness, and may be of two main types:
- Absorbable: these are dissolvable sutures that are designed to disintegrate over a specific timeframe as the body heals. The body recognises suture as a foreign object. They may be made from materials including chromic gut, plain gut, purified catgut, collagen, and others.
- Non-Absorbable: these are permanent sutures that remain in place until they are removed by the dentist (or doctor) after basic wound closure and healing has completed. Silk is the most widely-used non-absorbable dental suture material. Other non-absorbable suture materials include nylon, polyester, polypropylene, and others.
Adam Dental Supplies offers both absorbable (dissolvable) sutures as well as non-absorbable sutures. We have a very wide range of both types of suture material, and we have the right sutures for your specific needs.
