Sutures – Dozen

Sutures are sterile surgical threads used to close wounds, repair tissues, and support healing after surgical procedures or trauma. Available in absorbable and non-absorbable materials, sutures are selected based on tissue type, healing time, and surgical requirement.

They come pre-attached to surgical needles (atraumatic), ensuring smooth penetration, minimal trauma, and secure knotting strength. Sutures are essential for general surgery, obstetrics, orthopaedics, dental surgery, plastic surgery, and emergency wound closure.
