Absorbable sutures are also known as dissolvable sutures. They are made to naturally dissolve as the wound heals and are absorbed and eliminated by the body, meaning that there is no requirement for them to be removed by the doctor o dentist. They are usually created using synthetic polymers or from the fibres that line mammal intestines.
Absorbable sutures are also more flexible and this makes them ideal for dental and oral use where wounds may be jagged and surgical sites may be spongy.
