In surgery, the use of sterile surgical sutures is critical for wound closure and healing. Understanding the composition and classification of surgical sutures is critical for medical professionals to make informed decisions. At WEGO, we offer a full line of surgical sutures and components to meet the diverse needs of healthcare providers.

Sutures can be classified based on material source, absorptive properties, and fiber structure. First, surgical sutures are divided into natural and synthetic types based on the source of the material. Natural sutures include gut (chrome and regular) and Slik, while synthetic sutures include nylon, polyester, polypropylene, PVDF, PTFE, PGA, PGLA, PGCL, PDO, stainless steel, and UHMWPE. Each material has unique properties that make it suitable for specific surgical applications.

Second, absorptive properties are a key factor in surgical suture classification. Sutures can be classified based on their absorbent properties, including absorbable and non-absorbable options. Absorbable sutures are designed to break down in the body over time, while non-absorbable sutures are designed to stay in place indefinitely. Understanding the absorption curve is critical to determining appropriate sutures for different tissue types and healing processes.

At WEGO, we prioritize quality and diversity of medical products. Our range of surgical sutures and components are designed to meet the highest standards of safety and effectiveness. In addition to sutures, our product lines include infusion sets, syringes, blood transfusion equipment, intravenous catheters, orthopedic materials, dental implants, and more. We are committed to providing healthcare professionals with the tools they need to deliver exceptional patient care.

In summary, classification of surgical sutures is a multifaceted process that requires consideration of material origin, absorptive properties, and fiber structure. By understanding these components, medical professionals can make informed decisions about the most appropriate suture for a specific procedure. At WEGO, we are committed to providing a wide range of high-quality surgical sutures and components to meet the ever-changing needs of the healthcare industry.
