What are there different types of surtures?

Some of the different suture materials used include polyglycolic acid, catgut, polylactic acid, polydioxanone, caprolactone, etc. Also called resorbable, absorbable sutures are made of polymers.

The ideal suture material is sterile, easy to handle, strong (along all of its length), resistant to infection and cheap. It also has to behave in the way we want it to, in a consistent manner. As you might imagine, it is extremely difficult to manufacture the ‘perfect’ suture, which is why there is a wide variety of materials available which offer unique characteristics.

When we use a suture material in the human body we are implanting a foreign tissue into a host. It follows on, therefore, that a tissue reaction within the host should be expected, and can be either an advantage or a disadvantage.

the aorta is the large artery leaving the heart branches into smaller arteries, which eventually branch into capillaries.the arteries carry oxygen and nutrients away from your heart, to your body's tissues. the capillaries are small, thin blood vessels that connect the arteries and the veins. the statement that arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to capillaries is true. veins on the other hand are blood vessels that take oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
